<div dir="ltr">hello James, <div>funny I asked myself the same question the last few days. </div><div><br></div><div>-blue globes are the simplest: rated 15bars I believe. Emile tested them to even higher pressure without sliding. with 2 on each end you have extra comfort.</div><div>but that would not be class approved as any damage to the cable sleeve and you will be wet inside the sub.</div><div><br></div><div>-Subconn as a high power line. but you have to check the maximum amperage. </div><div>would be expensive. and lead time seemed a bit long last time this group discussed it.</div><div><br></div><div>-Epoxy potting in some time of insert. you need nice craft skills I would think</div><div><br></div><div>-Final option: a more elaborate design I used on pilot fish: </div><div> *a delrin sleeve goes into the penetration</div><div>*inside runs a brass pin with a shoulder profile to prevent intrusion into the hull, the pin is glued in the delrin housing, and the cable is soldered into the pin. A blue globe caps it off so no water gets into the pin area.</div><div>*inside the hull you have a delrin ring to isolate the electrical connection from the hull, then a brass screw covering the brass pin end and the retaining delring ring. the internal cable can be covered by that screw too via a crimp. </div><div>this could even be more elaborate with orings rather than glue, and a system to make the inside of the hull water tight as well.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>regards</div><div>Antoine</div><div><br></div><div> </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, May 11, 2020 at 11:29 AM James Frankland via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi All<div>Continued to work on Skadocs new battery pod this weekend.</div><div><br></div><div>I was making good progress until the coolant pump on my lathe broke down.
