Sounds interesting Hank,any pictures?You may be able to fit a frameless DC motor in it,or adapt it for DC. Is it brushless, is there any gearing,& what horsepower? Oh yeah & what price???Cheers Alan

Voltage is 220 AC  buy it gets better!  I discovered the bottom end of the motor has a very elaborate  thrust assembly and a rubber bladder for pressure compensation.  OMG  just remove the armature and machine the spline off and screw a prop adaptor on and your done!

 just dismantled a submersible well pump.  As I thought it
 is fluid filled and all SS, it seems like it is filled with
 anti freeze not oil.  This would make a beautiful
 thruster.  The output shaft is splined and a simple adaptor
 to a prop and your done, also a thrust washer should go
 in.  The armature rides on bushings, not bearings.  The
 wires are potted and plug into the motor interior. This is
 very interesting and should be explored more.
