Hello all.
I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge about installing an engine
15* different from prop. shaft.

You are describing my installation.

It is accomplished with an AquaDrive (Actually a pair of CV joints on a
common shaft)which handles 10 degrees and an offset TwinDisc
transmission which handles another 10 degrees of down pitch.

It is understood that the engine must be pitched down with the tranny
end of the engine below the PTO end, not the other way around.

To the best of my knowledge, 10 degrees is the maximum down pitch most
engine manufacturers will allow.
