Going to a smaller gage wire (#6) and changing my hose assembly to a much easier set up. Also I have found that the mineral oil I've been using does not work well with certain types of tubing, especially vinyl tubing , it tends to make it very stiff and not flexible after time. I think that was one reason I was having such a steering problem on my last outing. Once I removed my supposedly flexible tubing I found that it was rock hard ! </FONT></FONT><DIV><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif">Brian</FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"> </FONT></FONT><BR><BR><SPAN style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:</SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">From: Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org></SPAN><BR><SPAN style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">To: "Personal Submersibles General Discussion" <personal_submersibles@psubs.org></SPAN><BR><SPAN style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] motor electrical</SPAN><BR><SPAN style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2020 08:53:02 -0700</SPAN><BR><BR><DIV><DIV style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><FONT size="2">I actually found some nylon fittings that I'm going to try.

I currently am using 1" flexible industrial grade hose (UV resistant) and running my heavy gage jacketed elec power lines to the motor thru these hose lines . I have potted electrodes coming thru the hull in a separate fitting that is basically an insert into one of my viewport flanges.. And i have the same type of thing going into the motor, which is potted into a 1" ss coupling which is welded to the motor pod . </FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif">Then I fill the whole thing with mineral oil. These lines meet at a slip coupling fitting so I can disconnect the motor at that point and take in to the shop and work on it , or so I can trade motors with a different one. So I've been using pvc barbed 1" male fitting adapters to to screw into my motor fitting and the thru hull fitting, Anyway it's looking like these pvc fitting are not up to the task as I had one break on me . So now I need to replace these , I'd rather not use brass or ss just because I'm worried the cables are so tight that they might make contact and I'll have a short. That's why I opted originally for the pvc. Does anyone know of a really strong fitting I could use ? </FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif">Brian</FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"> </FONT></FONT></DIV></DIV><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">_______________________________________________
