Same thing happened to me with the port forward thruster on the
K600. See picture here...<br>

The motor was rotating fine when I picked up the submarine, and
for weeks afterwards. When I started stripping the sub I
discovered it had frozen in place. I could only turn it about 1/8
turn back and forth using a crowbar. I had to pound it out from
inside the sub using a sledge hammer and even that took a couple
of hours. In my case, I am not reusing the original motors and
will be sealing the thru-hull so the score marks don't matter.<br>
<br>
How much weight are each of those wheels rated for?<br>

<div>Hi All,</div>
<div>Had an irritating problem at the weekend. I was just
modifying the side thruster bumpers so I can spin the motors
all the way around. I turned one of the motors and it jammed
solid in the through hull. I ended up having to thump it out
which scratched all the inside of the bore. Spent the rest of
the weekend polishing it up and putting it back together. Its
fixed now but I don't know why it jammed. I think its
probably just such a tight fit, the slightest little
scratch or nick inside just jammed it solid. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway, I thought id share a pic of my new wheels, which I
didn't have time to fit due to the motor problem. Will fit
and test next weekend. Not sure if they are going to work.</div>
