Of course, the really coolest thing is being down there doing
it.....as long as the coffee is still hot. You won't need a
vertical lamp, although a xenon flasher with a pressure switch
is mighty nice to have, as you can see that little guy for
miles.</font>

<div><span>The oil filter
looking part is the
barrier that keeps the
water out of the sub.
There is a magnet inside
the barrier that is
connected to the
propeller shaft. When
you assemble this thing
you need to be real
carful. The first time
I slid the magnet
assemblies together I
almost lost a finger.
If the propeller gets
jammed, the magnet drive
would slip like a
clutch. It would take a
lot though, my magnet
drive is bigger than it
needs to be. The
propeller assembly can
still drop off in an
emergency, that is all
the same still. I am
pretty happy with the
whole conversion, it can
not leak! </span></div>

<div>Anyone
that may
be interested,
I posted a
couple of
pictures of my
magnetic drive
coupler
assembly. It
is kinda
chunky at
about 9in
long. I can
NOT overpower
the coupler by
hand, it is
incredible how
strong it is.
I pressure
tested the
assembly to
625 psi for
one hr with no
issues. I
will oil fill
the shaft tube
to lubricate
the outboard
shaft bearing
and protect
against
corrosion.
This was a
simple two day
conversion
with minimal
machining
required.</div>
