 Rick, if they are filled with epoxy, you'r not taking it apart anyways, uless you melt out the epoxy. Don't you have some lift bags?  You have a good point with those open MBT's.  You could always hang a 200 lb steel shaft under the sub on a 50 foot rope, thus assuring the sub does not reach the bottom.  My sub hit something and broke the side panel.  I think in the future I will hang a weight under the sub.Hank

 Hank, I was thinking of that but wanted to be able to unscrew them if needed and would be concerned with using heat due to the epoxy inside of the SS threaded shaft that carries the two conductors?I Loved your video of the test and manned dive recently. Could you do a video of how you trigger the HP air with a rope from the surface? I would be a little scared of letting my sub free fall to the bottom without a substantial lift line due to it possibly hitting a rock on the bottom causing it to lean over a bit and not be able to fill the MBT's  or getting snagged on something?

 Rick, what about Lock Tite ?  Personally I use  JB weld for things like that.  If you have to take it apart some day, then heat does the trick.Hank

Alan yes cable glandyes, Blue globe made to accept a  .08 to .24 OD wire jacketIt is two separate conductors stranded wire each separately jacketed for obvious reasonsI would like to run 3 LED front lights that are 34 volt DC and are rated at 100 watts eachThe mid lights and aft light will be on a separate cable going through a different gland. Does that make sense?Also do you or anyone out there have any suggestions on a good thread compound to mate the motors to the ss shaft?

Rick,
do you mean cable gland?
Are you using blue globe & what size?
So it is one positive & negative wire running through the same cable gland
& feeding all 6 LEDs!
If so what is the combined amp draw. 
I source a lot of my high powered wire through automotive suppliers, but it is 
normally separate positive & negative & not both in a single jacket.
