The power set for the Magin One comes with a 700 sized Johnson motor, motor mount, a straight direct drive, a carbon propeller. It also includes parts to water cool the motor.
The motor bolts onto a plastic retainer that also holds the brass stuffing tube. The drive shaft is connected to the motor by a rubber dampener.
The motor will be held in place with this craddle. It also will hold the steering servo and the radio battery pack
The instructions are very clear on setting the drive shaft angle. Once it is in the correct place, everything is glued down forming a sturdy unit. The driveline is glued to the transom using some Stabilit Express. At this point, I used over a tube of Stabilit to build this boat.
Now it is time to finish up the transom. Starting from the left, a brass tube is glued in place for the water cooling system. A large aluminum tube for the rudder linkage is glued in place as well. A extension for the rudder is glued into place, then the rudder and turn fin are screwed down.
An optional trim tab kit is available. From what I have read, it is almost a requirement to run this boat. Without them, the boat is reported to porpoise (bounce up and down) badly.
The rudder linkage is straightforward. The linkage uses ball joints and comes in the correct size. Nice.
Here is the transom with everything in place. The water cooling hose is connected to a brass tube that sits in front of the rudder. The prop measures 40 mm in diameter and is attached by 4mm threads.
