You might be on the right track.

That's what we were seeing in the bench tests. The field would
show a drop in voltage and
get the error code and just shut off. I will be exploring this
with Curtis. It is still possible just to
have the error shut off. Might be the best
solution.

It would be a shame to re-wind the motor if you are getting good
performance. I would think Curtis could help if they wanted to.
It still sounds like the shunt current is too low for the controller
and might be tripping off due to noise (maybe!).
Any way I liked your Sub and it seems fast.

Hey Ken good to hear from you. I have not checked yet, but I
have a feeling the controller
just kicked out. It did it a few times when we were bench
testing. Thought we had it whooped
but maybe not. I still do not have reverse in it, and will
probably just redo everything. If the
controller is not going to be reliable, may just
pull the motor and have it rewound to a straight
series motor. I am real pleased with the way it performs. I
never dreamt a DC motor could be
so difficult. Lesson learned.

Dean,
Nice Sub, glad to see the video.
Wonder what went wrong with the propulsion?

Thanks Dave, she hasn't been down more than 10' so
far but she is getting close.
It does make all the hard work and cussin worth while..
And I promise the video's will
improve, I really do like looking at them. From inside
the sub you do not get to see it.
Dean
Dean, A wonderful video! A wonderful
submarine!
Congratulations!

OK not very action packed video but it is all I
got.
first part I am just trying to get neutral, and then
the big break before we get
playing
