After we failed to work out a group purchase of Marcotte drives , he did order one. Marcotte agreed to build up a custom bell housing with a governor drive. The Marcotte design does have provision for pressure oil to the prop and is normal rotation. Unfortunately as of our last conversation this summer it had not arrived last spring as scheduled. George's number is 204 467 5003 He does not have email at home but I'll send a note to his wife at her work to see if she could get us an update. Or you might send a note to Marcotte's last email address: megapropulsion@netscape.net or phone him at: 418 362 2569 Peter
