[PSUBS-MAILIST] Motor pods



Hello every one, this time I enter the forum with another question, I have purchased Minn kota`s motors for my k-350 and I have modified the motor pods to fit these new motors. Right now I’m doing a pressure test to the pod, (the pod is empty), to be sure that all modifications I did works ok, I know I didn’t have to use these pods but I did it to preserve the original design, you’ll see,  I have modified the motors pods in the inside but I respected all external designs. Also the motors I bought aren’t very strong (in construction, I mean) so I wanted to keep the pods because I’m a inexperience pilot and I might hit something down there,  the thing is, that my sub is being built to go down aprox. 100 meters that’s about 150 psi; I’m doing this test at 300 psi with a safe factor 2 to 1, is that enough? I mean I don’t want to exaggerate with the pressure because my test chamber is very weak and if I need to go higher I will need to reinforce it. Please let me know what you think.. Thanks
