[PSUBS-MAILIST] Minn Kotta 101 - Thruster Reliability

 I saw that.  I need to digest the report to see if our relatively shallow dive depth range compared to depth range covered in the report would shift us to another fluid.  These two reports River sent look useful.

  Per the document River pointed us to, Tellus 11 (5 cSt) and Tellus 15 (10 cSt) are acceptable general purpose compensating oils.  Seems to be reasonably priced as well.

  This is way too much kinematic viscosity for me at 100 times the viscosity of water.  Manufacturers make a low viscosity silicone oil.  I think we need to be closer to 5 cSt for kinematic viscosity.
I am hoping Emile will send info on what he is using.
