 Looking for a centrifugal clutch.
I am looking for a centrifugal clutch with a 1-7/16 inch bore thats rated for at least 25hp. I am having a hard time finding one that big and its holding up my mud motor build. Thanks

 Re: Looking for a centrifugal clutch.
Unless anyone has a good idea on how to build the drive? Im not sure how good it would be not having a neutral. What about a long shaft motor, they are direct drive if im not mistaken. Just a u joint hooked up to the shaft? Any ideas would be helpfull.

 Re: Looking for a centrifugal clutch.
You can put the pulley straight to the shaft and pick the prop out of the water for neutral.
If you want a clutch, get an electric toggle clutch.. A centrifugal wont be good for just Idling around and loading it down at low rpms.

 Re: Looking for a centrifugal clutch.

 Re: Looking for a centrifugal clutch.
All these motors that have neutral have electric clutches
