Thanks

Hey I really like this setup. Curious where you got the strap from

552

Hey - From our local hardware store, under the brand name Grunt. They are an imitation of Voile straps which should be able to get anywhere in the world.

somewhere in the forum I read that someone submerged the engine in corrosion x and did not put resin. It seems a bit unbelievable to me but I’m tempted to do it.

554

That is what i did to my new motor. I will let you all know how it goes.

555

your board is definitely gorgeous!!! I second that!!! how long is it?

556

I’ve done it for the last 4 months and run the motor in salt water. No issues at all. I make sure to rinse the motor with fresh water after each use and spray corrosion X after 3-4 sessions.

557

I have just used Velcro to connect the cable to the board. Flexible Velcro has been cut to a thin strip and stuck to the outside of the 3 core cable using marine glue. The other bit of Velcro has been stuck to the board. It is working well so far.

Thanks. It is 6ft 8” by 25”, 125 Litres.

The first time you left it submerged in Corrosion x? every time you spray it…do you do it without the rotor? directly on the winding?

560

I sprayed corrosion x on the rotor and stator (directly on the wires) while separated and then let then sit inside a plastic bag to soak in. I did not submerge them in corrosion X. I make sure the stainless steel ball bearings get a good soaking. Someone else on this forum said that they’ve been doing the same for a year without issues. This is why I decided to take this approach versus trying to epoxy the motor which turned into a mess for me.

Does anyone know where to purchase the 6384 motor without the shaft like foil drive uses? I can only find the version that has the shaft.

Thanks

You can cut it off yourself, I did it with a dremel (on a 63100).
