[PSUBS-MAILIST] K-600 new motor mounts

[james cottrell via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,
I have a steel sphere that is 48" diameter x .320" thick mild steel. Have you ever depth tested anything similar?
Thanks,
Greg

Hi Jon,I can't see how your going to secure the motor to the channels.  I have a simple and cheap solution that I use for Elementary.  Just split an appropriate size pipe that matches the motor diameter then put slits in the channel for heavy duty ss hose clamps. weld the split pipe to the channel.   It is easy and looks professional.  You may have a plan already, just wanted to throw it out there.Hank

I've attached new motor mounts for the MinnKota 101's onto the aft ballast tank framework.  This puts them each at about a 30 degree angle from center-line which should work great for my "tractor" type control, however I realize now that if one of the motors quits I will be running around in circles.  I have the option of adding a rudder but am not going to do that.  I'll live with it for now and see how it goes.
The motors will be cradled in the 4-inch channel and held in with SS or Alum straps.
Jon
