[PSUBS-MAILIST] Minn Kota 101 - thread spec

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

Why not put one tap mid-section and the other tap at the bell end 
housing, avoiding the need for a third hole.  I haven't taken my 101's 
apart yet but it looks like there is plenty of room for a tap on the 
bell end based upon the exploded parts diagram.  See it at

Oil comp may have some issues but the attraction for me is simplicity 
and no support components like regulators and air distribution piping.
