[PSUBS-MAILIST] K-600 new motor mounts

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,
My artistic skills prevent me from providing a meaningful illustration but I will be using a split ring design.  The outside circumference of the 101 is near identical to the outside width of the four inch channel.  My plan is to attach two straps to the sides of the channel which will run under the motor and cradle it.  Those straps will be split at the bottom such that I can use a bolt to tighten them and keep the motor in place.  I may use a rubber sleeve (think tire tube) to wrap around the motor first just so there's a buffer between the motor and the channel but I don't think this is really necessary.

 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
