I can't remember what seal they use, but it could be just an O-ring.
I would like to send you over one of my motors but they are not ready yet.
Am having a rectifier made for me so I can run the motor off mains in a 
pool for a hundred or so hours. Also am being supplied with some mechanical
seals to evaluate next week. Although there is an off the shelf regulator
that Cliff is using for equalising his Minn kottas, I want to look at building
my own compensator. Slowly getting there though.

>> 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.
