The support shaft is removed by unscrewing it, if it is stubborn, throw a little heat at it. Then there are potting options for the wires. I prefer to drill in two electrical penetrators into the motor body and plug the hole from the support rod. That works well if your motors are fixed solid. If the motors need to rotate, then you make a penetrating shaft with the wires potted inside the new shaft.</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1477769515226_3186"><span>If you just want to putter around the test area, then just clamp them on the sub as they are.</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1477769515226_3186"><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 Saturday, October 29, 2016 12:42 PM, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv1515921603"><div><div style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><div>Hank, I didn't think they were such low rpm, I'll have to look that up from the name plate on line.

On those trolling motors there is a support shaft that comes up from the back and has the wires in there, what does everybody do with that? is that removed and then some sort of seal put in and the wires potted in?</div><div> </div><div>Brian</div><div> </div><div> </div><div class="yiv1515921603yqt2617528810" id="yiv1515921603yqt64915"><div><br clear="none"><br clear="none">--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none">From: hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br clear="none">To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br clear="none">Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] got motors<br clear="none">Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2016 01:31:02 +0000 (UTC)<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><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>Brian,</span></div><div><span>Nice, but keep it simple! make a housing and end cap with a simple seal, either a spring seal or an o-ring.

My new found friend over at the golf cart place is going to be ridding himself of all these carts that have been piling up. But he has to see what is what, so at the end of every week I'll be hauling away motors !</div><div> </div><div> today I got two motors (48 VDC) plus a drive shaft/ gear box. I'm thinking that I should use the gear box as part of my drive. One good thing about it is that it is an in-line configuration rather than a 90 degree. Also it's a 6 to 1 reduction which is really great. I might be able to make a custom pod to house everything. I would like to run the whole thing in oil.</div><div> </div><div>Pics:</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Brian</div><div> </div></div></div><br clear="none">_______________________________________________<br clear="none">Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div> </div> </div> </div></div></div>_______________________________________________
