I haven't designed mine yet Rick which is why I'm asking the question.  
I guess the first question is whether one of the seals can be reversed 
to prevent oil from escaping around the motor shaft.  I think I recall 
Hank mentioning something about this but I don't know if it was on a 
minn-kota.  I'm also not sure if oil egress is due to heat/pressure 
build up or because the motor is designed to keep water out, not oil in.

We've got different people saying different things so I'm hoping we can 
come up with a "best practice" solution and document it in a white paper.
