These are probably cheap Chinese motors. I think are worth a try, and I intend on being the sacrificial lamb. I am not converting them though, I will use them as surface power. They will be stored inside the sub or on the buoy marker. Of coarse for the benefit of us all, I will tear one down and have a peek at how well they are built.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1477075935919_7059"><span>Hank</span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial"> On Friday, October 21, 2016 9:46 AM, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv3100991662"><div><div style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">Thought they would be way more that that<br clear="none"><br clear="none">--- <a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a> wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none">From: hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>><br clear="none">To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>><br clear="none">Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw:<br clear="none">Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2016 10:04:25 +0000 (UTC)<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><div class="yiv3100991662yqt1892741190" id="yiv3100991662yqt39228"><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div><span>Here is the ad for the motors and that is in Canadian dollars, so your cost is about 450 dollars each.</span></div><div><span>Hank</span></div><div><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div> <div style="display:block;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"> On Friday, October 21, 2016 4:01 AM, 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><div>
