<div>Phillippe, not sure what your asking? if your asking if you can weld a fitting onto the shaft stub, I would say yes, providing you don't get the part to hot. I am not sure why you would weld it though. You can simply pot wires right in the stub hole, and I have two thrusters like that. You can thread a fitting into the stub that is a penetrator. Both options work well, but welding it will also work. Maybe you can explain what your planning to do and why you want to weld a part on.</div><div>Hank</div><div><br></div>
