[PSUBS-MAILIST] Oil Compensator

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

Looks like I have found an easier solution.  Rather than finding a hose 
to fit over the shaft/motor coupler I can use 3/4 PVC sched-40 or a 1 
inch plastic pipe barb fitting to fit inside the shaft/motor coupler.  
That gives me a short fitting to attach the air compensation hose to and 
it's smaller diameter so will be easier to find tubing or hose to fit it.

With that, I think at this point I'm going to choose air compensation.  
While it requires more equipment and a potential octopus of tubing to 
retrofit it to the K-600, it has some very good advantages when it comes 
to easy-access to the motor when maintenance is required in the future.

However, I reserve the right to change my mind.  :)
