Hi
Can't figure out if this is the right group for my question, but here it comes. I'm building a ship model, and I want a functional bowthruster. The ones I can find in stores are too big. The size I'm looking for is something like 20-25mm in diameter (3/4 - 1 inch). An alternative could be a supplyer of small bevel gears. If I could get those, I'll just make my own thruster :-)
So group, any ideas?
Hi Uffe. Take a look at

Robbe makes one about that size for their Berlin Kit. They sell it seperately along with a couple other styles.

I've seen that one. It's just too big for my application, there is not the space for it in my boat :-(

It looks like Smallparts has the goods :-) Part number: GBM-4815 Just wondering, how much the shipping will cost, will ask them.
The only outboard motor I could find, is with a simple spring for bevel gear. That construction is sadly not solid enough, it wears pretty fast. Is there a motor with toothed bevel gear, that you know about? Still the size is important.
Thanks for helping :-)
Uffe I don't know where to get small outboard motors with bevel gears but I do know they exist. A longtime friend (now deceased) collected them. Where are you located? If I can be of any help in getting your parts from Small Parts Inc. let me know. I live in Florida and Small Parts is also in Florida so if they were sent to me, to forward to you, they would charge a 6% state sales tax. Let me know if I can help. Pete
