Hi Scottie i had the idea of the 12v vauxhall astra estate (this type allows the the pump to be opperated in both directions as it has twin outlets)washer pump motor published in Model Boats Magazine last year not knowing if it was an original idea or not .Mine was fitted to a tug of 40"x12"and a weight of 50lb aprox scratch built.
The system does work but with the lenth of your project i would question the effect that it would have based on my design ,therefore i would opt for the new graupner paddle type ,i have just bought one from scoonies models at the Blackpool show, had a test in the tank and the performance is well above that of the propeller type available .
ok daz
