What I did not want was the threads in the adapter to cut the wire insulation. So what I did was get some oversized 1/2" heat shrink insulation and shrink it around the penetrator wires. This ended up making a nice thick wear band. The pigtails on the Subconn penetrators were about an inch longer than needed even after twisting. Was able to connected these to the brushes by reusing the spade connectors that come with the motor. I soldered just in case. All this assembled just fine. I used marine grade threadlok to seal between the adapter and housing. I have all the thrusters now assembled on back on the boat. Just finished repainting the interior and exterior. After I get back from an overseas consulting job, I will start putting all the equipment back in the boat.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432163484657_32148" dir="ltr">Cliff<br><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432163484657_31999"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432163484657_32101"><br></div></div><br> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432163484657_32151" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432163484657_32150" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432163484657_32149" dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> <font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432163484657_32152" face="Arial" size="2"> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Wednesday, May 20, 2015 7:20 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] MK101 oil compensation tap<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432163484657_32153"><br><div id="yiv9077754303"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432163484657_32155">

Cliff, a lot of threads on the MK101 to Subconn adapter. How are
you going to handle wire twisting when you screw in the
adapter...pre-twist in the opposite direction?<br clear="none">
