Foil Drive Assist, DIY

[mterea]

Have you seen this? I have same motor, considering it as an alternative

DIY 6384 Foil Drive Assist from South Germany

Just as an alternative perspective. I’ve been using the cheap Aliexpress 6384 without waterproofing very successfully. Stainless bearings and upgrade cables and cut off shaft but basically soak motor in Corrosion X for a couple of days then simply spray after each use. Over 12 months with current motor used in salt water/surf at least 4 times per week. Not a hint of corrosion, not even discolouring of magnets, nothing to indicate any corrosion. I have epoxy encapsulated previously but won’t both…

and

Corrosion X is leaking from the motor

I also have this, the CorX can go along the copper in the wire and also diffuse through the silicone of the cable slowly But I am not sure if this is a problem? Means the cable also is protected and the CorX, for me, helped soldering better than any flux I have ever tried But I could not observe any damage to seals or the cables since I filled it, also not in my “scientific” comparison I did between CorX, mineral oil and no oil
