[PSUBS-MAILIST] Minn-Kota Shaft Seals

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

Sounds reasonable to me.  I'm also thinking that if your compensation is close to ambient as it would be with a regulator setup as you have, the orientation of the seal won't much matter since it's not holding back any significant pressure on either side.

 Jon,I just picked that motor diagram because it was more clear than most. I'm just saying that redundant seals in trolling motors in general are probably to prevent water ingress if the outer seal is damaged- the outer seal is probably not needed for our application. Water against a single seal might be even better from a cooling standpoint.
