Thanks again for thinking of me Steve. But it
wouldn't help it to stay dry even if it was inside my sub. My sub is a
completely wetsub that I use scuba gear
to operate. No dry cockpit in my boat. It wouldn't
be practical for me to install it in a pod outside the sub when I need it in the
cockpit. It's not locating the electronics
that is the problem. I can and have found them at
many sites. All kinds of circuit boards to operate a DC variable speed motor.
Just none of
them I have found thus far are already waterproof
and pressureproof with an exposed to the water switch knob, handle or twistgrip.
For my
application I don't need a fancy circuit board. I
am using between the voltage spectrum of 12 volts for half speed and 24
volts for full speed.
Since a household rotary light dimmer switch is
made to handle 115 volts, it will more than handle my max of 24 volts. So you
see I don't
need a circuit board. If I wanted to make the
switch myself, it would be simplest and cheapest to just use the rotary
dimmer switch and
encase it in pvc and use a magnet to actuate it
without using a circuit board for the switch at all. The problem is then
installing the dimmer
switch in pvc to water and pressure proof it and
then to make a magnet actuate the shaft to the switch. I could probably do it by
taking the
time and trouble to experiment but it would just be
so much easier to be able to buy one like I need. If I can find it.

considering they make them for land vehicles, i'm not
suprised!
surely it would be contained within the sub or a custom pod
outside?

Thanks for the links Steve.
However I didn't see any waterproof and
pressureproof variable speed motor controllers ready made at the
sites.
