David,
awesome progress.
That's interesting that you are having 2 separate pressure vessels, I had 
always thought it was one!
Never mind about Minn kotta, I am making some progress with my 
brushless thrusters. Received 11 motors that were made to my specs, with 
stainless propeller shafts. Have 3 different Vescs ( Benjamin Vedder designed 
speed controller) that I am testing & an amazing program called the Vesc Tool for 
setting the speed controller & it's input devices parameters. You can attach your 
Vesc & motor to a laptop via usb & dial a load & rpm in to it. The Vesc Tool displays 
temperature of the esc & motor as well as Amp draw, Voltage & motor rpm.
So with this I can establish a maximum amp draw for the esc & motor then
choose a propeller that will give me that load. 
Maybe I will do a video later!
Cheers Alan

According to my guy, who services electric motors, says he will be now having more business as the new series has  substantially weaker seals and that the new motor is also larger in diameter and needs 60A breakers. Not good news for us submariners.
