Surely they hold the water out. Would the seal configuration determine wether it is air or oil compensated. The part I like is the power ratings, forget thrust because that is all crap. But the amps, watts and volts, you could assume to be true.

What do you think? it has a controller inside the motor, not sure that can handle pressure. maybe the controller can be removed and kept inside the sub. I want to add two motors or more for long distance travel with an independent battery bank. The current set up is to slow. I figure this is better than adding a diesel engine. </div><div class="yiv4746496787qtdSeparateBR" id="yiv4746496787yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1475350113038_2998">Hank<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div> <div class="yiv4746496787yahoo_quoted" id="yiv4746496787yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1475350113038_3175" style="display:block;"> <div id="yiv4746496787yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1475350113038_3174" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"> <div id="yiv4746496787yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1475350113038_3173" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div dir="ltr" id="yiv4746496787yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1475350113038_3172"><font id="yiv4746496787yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1475350113038_3176" face="Arial" size="2"> On Saturday, October 1, 2016 1:28 PM, xxx xxxxx <<a href="mailto:mp13@live.ca">mp13@live.ca</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></font></div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div class="yiv4746496787y_msg_container" id="yiv4746496787yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1475350113038_3195"><div id="yiv4746496787">
