 Hank,I have 4 cheap Chinese trolling motors on my ambient.Have pulled a couple apart & found iron filings in then &one had the thrust bearing mounted in a plastic fitting thatdidn't look very substantial. The main housing seals & seatweren't fantastic & the seal was worse for wear by the timeI reassembled it. There were long bolts running down the inside of the motor holding the housing together. These werea devil to get back in as the motor magnets pulled themaway from the threaded hole I was trying to bolt them in about 6" in. However there are more than 1 trolling motor manufacturersin China. Good luck.  Alan

Brian,Minkota 100 lb motors are a lot more than these ones I showed you.  These are probably cheap Chinese motors.  I think are worth a try, and I intend on being the sacrificial lamb.  I am not converting them though, I will use them as surface power.  They will be stored inside the sub or on the buoy marker.  Of coarse for the benefit of us all, I will tear one down and have a peek at how well they are built.Hank

Here is the ad for the motors and that is in Canadian dollars, so your cost is about 450 dollars each.Hank
