Hi Scott,
The motor housing uses a mechanical seal on the shaft. Look at
drawing K350-025-0 and you'll see it (#15), plus in the parts table
item #15 describes the seal as PS-309 which is available from a
number of sources, just google PS-309.

Jon,
I've studdied the blueprints and the pods that I have built
and I keep comming back to the same issue that bothers me. The
pods are 1ATM and the seals that they show to keep sea water
from going into the pods are the two "O" rings. It just seems
to me like with the shaft spinning at that speed they would
leak or would chew up the "O" rings. Any ideas? The tru hulls
I have on my sub are redesigned from the original design which
gives me a little better ease of mind for those. My design is
supposed to be "weep" proof. Maybe I am just over engineering
these things.
Thanks,
Scott Waters
