Alan,I just need travelling motors, no reverse needed.  Maybe I should experiment with submersible well pumps.  I can get 1 hp model for under 200 dollars.  They are pretty much ready to go, the rpm is troubling though at 3400.  I am not sure how they would last running off an inverter also.  Lots to consider.Hank

 Hank,I Assume the seals are just rubber rotary seals like the Minnkota.I have a few Cheap Chinese trolling motors. These ones might beof a better standard. I would love you to buy one so I can find out how they are constructed,but it is a bit of a gamble. It may be that it is a great find & you canmodify the seals easily. Emile was running the Protruar 2 hp brushless geared thruster on his sub,& said it was a bit noisy. I believe he has now replaced it.I was drawing an extra 1 amp off 50V (50w) on full throttle with oil (10cst)in the housing. So it's not too much of a loss on a 2000W motor.Alan

Alan,You say they have a substandard seal, what does that mean.  Surely they hold the water out.  Would the seal configuration determine wether it is air or oil compensated.  The part I like is the power ratings, forget thrust because that is all crap.  But the amps, watts and volts, you could assume to be true.    Maybe if the seal is poor, it could be upgraded.Hankes might

 Hi Hank,I have done endless Googling looking for brushless trolling motors &saw these two which seem a similar animalhttp://www.sportrend.com/ArticleShow.asp?ArticleID=397

I contacted the supplier as I was wanting to buy the first item, but there were things they told me that didn't seem right, & the freight was very expensive,so I didn't bother.You still have the problem of their sub standard seal. Would love to pull one apart.I am due to put my latest motor & housing in the pool tomorrow.I did some tests running it with & without oil & it's looking good.If it runs well in the pool I will build my final housing (hopefully) witha mechanical seal. Cheers Alan

Hi AllCheck out this brushless 124lb trolling motor.  What do you think?  it has a controller inside the motor, not sure that can handle pressure.  maybe the controller can be removed and kept inside the sub.  I want to add two motors or more for long distance travel with an independent battery bank.  The current set up is to slow.   I figure this is better than adding a diesel engine.  Hank
