Yesterday
I tested a couple of things, first was my dual prop on the
vertical thruster. The thruster work great, well great in
the sense that it pushed the same in both directions. I
will be adding a second thruster with dual props on the
other side of the sub. The next test was a new
compensation set up for the thruster. I took a propane
regulator and removed the diaphragm and replaced it with a
piece of rubber from an inner tube. I threaded in a nice
ss fitting for the oil line to the motor and drilled a vent
hole for water to enter. The conversion took about 15 min
and worked excellent.
My LED took on a tiny bit of water but I think I just found
the cause. The oil is escaping through the wires. I have
fixed that now.
