Jon,Another benefit is that you can air comp any light that is designed to operate in air.

 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.  :)

Jon, an easy solution is to take the thruster, or that section of the thruster in to a plumbing merchant or hydraulic repair shop & ask for something  compatible with a barbed hose fitting. Sometimes a metric option will fit in an imperial thread, & so they may know of not so obvious solutions. Alan
