[PSUBS-MAILIST] motor rewinding

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,
like you I have seen the videos!
you might be able to get the wire winders opinion on the condition of
the rest of the motor & advice on motor controllers, fly back
diodes etc. If they are small enough you could ask if you could
watch the process. 
If you do it yourself you'll have to find a supplier of the correct 
wire gauge. It could be expensive buying a small quantity
compared to a motor winders bulk purchase.

The first relays burt up because I thought they were on the small side, but now that I have monster relays, I have discovered it is the motor.  I tested the armature windings against the good motor and found it is bad and in need of rewinding.  I found a place an hr away that does this.  But if they are too expensive, I will rewind it myself.
