[PSUBS-MAILIST] thrusters

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,
yes there is a lot of DIY in some of those groups.
I did run a motor without a housing & things like the magnets got rusty.
I don't think they would stand up to sea water & any mucky water. As
the motors would have any thin layers of expoxy / glue sand blasted off.
From memory the motors were reasonably low powered.
