Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Kittredge Motor Housing help

[Jon Wallace <jonw@psubs.org>]

Worked a little bit on the starboard motor housing today.  The good news 
is that the aft tank head came off much easier than the other housing 
and a look inside quickly showed why, virtually no rust at all.  This 
would seem to confirm that the story I read about "leaking motor pods" 
was true and it was the port forward motor.

See http://www.psubs.org/projects/1234567801/k-600strbdfwdmotor/ and 
compare with http://www.psubs.org/projects/1234567801/k-600portfwdmotors/


The bad news, well sort of, is that there's one flat head in the 
electric motor bracket that won't move even with heat.  So I'm off to 
get an impact wrench.  Weather man says we've got 6-10 inches of snow on 
the way tonight so I'd like to remove the starboard motor before all 
that happens.

Jon
