[PSUBS-MAILIST] prop test

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Yesterday I tested a couple of things, first was my dual prop on the vertical thruster.  The thruster work great, well great in the sense that it pushed the same in both directions.  I will be adding a second thruster with dual props on the other side of the sub.  The next test was a new compensation set up for the thruster.  I took a propane regulator and removed the diaphragm and replaced it with a piece of rubber from an inner tube.  I threaded in a nice ss fitting for the oil line to the motor and drilled a vent hole for water to enter.  The conversion took about 15 min and worked excellent.  
My LED took on a tiny bit of water but I think I just found the cause.  The oil is escaping through the wires. I have fixed that now.
