Trolling motors are built to reverse, but why would the depth be a factor? If you are either pressure compensating or oil filled, depth has no impact. ________________________________ From: owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org on behalf of Recon1st@aol.com Sent: Thu 1/4/2007 12:25 PM To: personal_submersibles@psubs.org Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Thrust from a pump?

Lots of food for thought here... Alec Once again hadn't thought of this. Does anywone know if larger trolling motors have the ability to reverse at say 400 ft fw. I would guess if the motor came with the ability to reverse it would also have to have a rear thrust bearing. The more I design my sub the more I find out how little I have really thought thru the basics. Dean Ackman The contents of this e-mail are intended for the named addressee only.
