[PSUBS-MAILIST] 12 volt Temp sensor

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian,Why not use WD40, at least run it in with the cheap oil, it will clean the system also.  You may need to increase the spring tension on the brushes, especially because they are so big.  Hank

 Hank,         I've got the motor pod running on the bench right now.  No oil yet,  I have to buy 55 gallons of the mineral oil ( same as I use in my cosmetics) unfortunately it's  $1000.00  .  I figure in the long run it will be cheaper and I'll use it anyway.  I usually go through 55 gallons in a year making my cosmetics.      I need to take the motor apart and clean it , it's an old golf cart motor.  It runs really nice and slow with the gear reduction , I think around 500 rpm.   It smoked a little bit , I'm not sure whats up with that.  The gear reduction normally has oil in it but I've been running it for short durations with out,  I don't think I'm harming it , but I really do want to get the oil in there.    I have one whole set up with controller , reversing switch, potentiometer  etc , I will need an entire duplicate set up for the starboard motor pod.   Brian

Brian,Have you done any testing with your motors in oil?  If you need any Curtis Controllers for experimenting, I can lend you a couple.   Hank

 Hi Everybody,                                Does anybody know of a good 12V temperature sensor?   I would like to put one in my motor pods to monitor the temp of the oil. Brian
