Actually, I haven't thought of that - at least partially because I've • never had
those axles. But I would think that a vertical axle driving meshed crown • gears
to drive the horizontal propellor axle, or even an inclined axle that is • turned
horizontal via a universal joint, would work as well.

A Thai style Long-tailed-boat may be easier to build and would keep the
motor out of the water. No rudder - just rotate the engine.
