Been doing alot of thinking on this as it is a big problem. I might see if
I can fabricate two things that are rigid that do a hard 90 off the spade
on the motor which will then do another hard 90 again just before the wall
of the housing, then shorten the wires coming out of the epoxy and put
spade connectors on them again so that you are plugging them in just as
they come out of the rod going thru the hull that is filled with epoxy
instead of plugging them in at the motor like the factory did.  As they
say,,,Looks good on paper. Just finished giving the inside another coat of
paint working my way out the back. What a real pain as I had to do a lot of
masking with painters tape on the wires and piping to keep them from
getting paint on them and using a real small brush sometimes to get into
the tight spots. Now I have to remove it all😬, but the next step is
welding the back dome on which will be another milestone for me. Gonna try
and tig weld the root and hot pass and cap on the inside and not have to do
any stick welding to preserve the new paint job that I just did.
I'll provide a picture to the group of what I come up with for the motor
and results.
