 Alan,   No doubt there will be issues to solve.  There is no face plate on one side since they fit into a gear box/ Tranny.  I would like to use aluminum so I don't have to paint it. Brian

Brian,look at the whole package before you get too many of those motors.Will you need a gearbox with them? The gearboxes can cost morethan the motor. Is the motor suitable for putting in a housing? How willit mount in there? Will you need to replace the drive shaft through the motor to extend it, or replace it with stainless? No doubt you will have to take the drive shaft out to machine in Circlip groves as Stops againsthousing bearings, or machining for the propeller .Do you need to replace the motor bearings or the brushes?The housing for it needs to be in sections that bolt together with O ringsand with press fit tolerances for the bearings & seals. A lot of work whichmakes a new Minn kota look like a cheaper alternative.My tiny 3 hp brushless motors have neodymium magnets & only cost$60- each.Regards Alan

Brian,,Take all you can, they are the toughest motor out there, and get the controllers as Alan said.  You can go online to get the wiring diagram.  Man that is a score!  Hank

 This electric golf cart business that is close buy has all these 3 HP dc motors that they just throw into the dumpster.  They are usually traded in by customers and the motors are perfectly fine .  Talk to them today and they're going to give me three motors for some honey.   They literally have 50 to 60 golf carts in their boneyard with motors at any one time, and they are constantly dumping them into the a giant roll-a-way bin for pick up.  I may try to work a deal with them to get some more.  Most of them are 36 volt. Brian
