[PSUBS-MAILIST] minn-kota cabling to hull

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Jon,I noted that the lights on "I think" a dual DW at Nuytcohad oil in the wiring tubes to the lights, which were a clear plastic.I compensated a linear actuator & didn't strip the wires inside the potting.I filled it with WD40, & it just ran out between the epoxy & the wires whenI tipped it upside down. No pressure applied. I think it was Hank that suggested untwisting the wires so the potting mix can get around them. On the through hulls, Carsten & Emile are usingblue globe cable glands with one outside the hull & another inside fordouble security.Alan

I think Emile had details of potting the minn-kota.  Anyone know where 
this might be located?

Anyone waterproofing their cabling by oil-compensation through a poly 
tube?  If I remember correctly, Aquarius uses this method for the 
electrical wires to the lights and vacuum.
