I am considering my engine repair replacement alternatives -my Atomic two has cylinder readings of 65Lbs and 55Lbs. I don't need alot of power cause it is lake sailing and on and off mooring type stuff. What options do others know of that would be fairly cost efficent. I really prefer not to hang an outboard off the back. Has anyone considered or know of an electric motor with battery solution?

Just Google "electric sailboat drive" and you'll find several interesting sites. If my A4 ever croaks in my R33, that's what I'll do.

Go to Moyer Marine, at MoryerMarine.com... The best place on the web to find anything and everything A-4. They have options for reman blocks, parts and even a large community of A-4 owners that chime in to help out. I saw the sail drive, but I am not sure it will work for this case as the engine has to sit further back than the A-4 does. Just my opinion tho...

Good luck!
