<DIV style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt;"><DIV>Hank, I didn't think they were such low rpm, I'll have to look that up from the name plate on line. I also have two trolling motors, one is a Johnson and the other is a 30 lb thrust minikota, not sure how powerful the Johnson is since there is no info on the motor . On those trolling motors there is a support shaft that comes up from the back and has the wires in there, what does everybody do with that? is that removed and then some sort of seal put in and the wires potted in?</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Brian</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV><BR><BR>--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<BR><BR>From: hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] got motors<BR>Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2016 01:31:02 +0000 (UTC)<BR><BR></DIV><DIV style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><DIV><SPAN>Brian,</SPAN></DIV><DIV><SPAN>Nice, but keep it simple! make a housing and end cap with a simple seal, either a spring seal or an o-ring.

I'm thinking that I should use the gear box as part of my drive. One good thing about it is that it is an in-line configuration rather than a 90 degree. Also it's a 6 to 1 reduction which is really great. I might be able to make a custom pod to house everything. I would like to run the whole thing in oil.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Pics:</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Brian</DIV><DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</A><BR><A href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</A><BR><BR><BR></DIV> </DIV> </DIV> </DIV></DIV>_______________________________________________
