I looked at it real hard, the motors are well compensated with a rubber bladder at the bottom. They are also sleek and made from SS. The problem is, they are not reversible, as far as I could figure. Maybe someone knows a way to reverse them. If you can find a way to reverse them, please let me know. I would use them in a flash!<br clear="none">
