 Send it to me privately.  Pictures direct from your phone will be too large for the mailing list.

 Jon, I will be taking the picture with my smart phone and sending it on so how do I tell what size it is before sending it?

 Pretty sure we have a 1mb size limit on photos and documents to the list.  If it's bigger than that, send to jon.wallace at yahoo.com and I'll get it to the list and website.

 Cliff, yes I will post a drawing and maybe a picture of what I am thinking of. Keep your fingers crossed!

 Rick, if the new way you have designed to connect the motor leads to the spade connection on the MK 101 lower unit works, please work up a sketch or drawing and share with Psubs.org.  I know a lot of us would like to see an alternative way of making this connection.  Yo can send drawing to Jon and he can post at web site.
Best

Hi Rick,I got the picture of the worn wire, thanks.It is probably a bit difficult to send photos that would describe exactly what is going on.Am wondering if you could scuff up the housing a bit & epoxy the wire to the housing. After all the magnets are glued to the housing. You might have to clamp the Wire against the housing with a piece of wood or something while drying and use as much epoxy as you can. I have found that epoxy doesn't do a great job of glueing to PVC wire jackets, so try & cover as much of it as you can & cover as much housing as you can with the epoxy.I made my own brushless thruster because I wasn't happy with what was out there; and what was ok cost thousands.Alan

I might see if I can fabricate two things that are rigid that do a hard 90 off the spade on the motor which will then do another hard 90 again just before the wall of the housing, then shorten the wires coming out of the epoxy and put spade connectors on them again so that you are plugging them in just as they come out of the rod going thru the hull that is filled with epoxy instead of plugging them in at the motor like the factory did.  As they say,,,Looks good on paper. Just finished giving the inside another coat of paint working my way out the back. What a real pain as I had to do a lot of masking with painters tape on the wires and piping to keep them from getting paint on them and using a real small brush sometimes to get into the tight spots. Now I have to remove it all😬, but the next step is welding the back dome on which will be another milestone for me. Gonna try and tig weld the root and hot pass and cap on the inside and not have to do any stick welding to preserve the new paint job that I just did. I'll provide a picture to the group of what I come up with for the motor and results.

No matter what I put on that area, if it rubs again it's going to go pretty much anything I put on it. I am using the 90 degree spade clips like the factory did but just wish the guys who designed it would of designed it a little differently. Hindsight!

Rick, There are various versions of liquid tape you could brush on to any exposed wires. Apply a number of thinner coats rather than one thick coat.Alan
