Repair of Watersnake Venom SX

[@rangieman]

Graphite powder would of been your friend in these situations id thought 😉

[@TheAussieRepairGuy]

Yeah I have some of that, but its conductive, not great around contacts and connections. It originally had grease, and I'm only nursing it on another 6 months till I replace it.

watersnake looks a bit like a star wars battle droid

It does now you mention it

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Thanks for the inside tour. Do you know, or can see. if the head of the motor can be reversed as to rig the motor on a bow, not transom? Cheers

[@TheAussieRepairGuy]

The only thing going on in the head is a single bolt through the shaft and wires leading in. I don't see why that wouldn't be possible.

What kit do you recommend for the 50amp circuit breaker or fuse kit?

[@TheAussieRepairGuy]

If the electrics are likely to get we as in my case, I'd go with a waterproof 50a fuse holder. if the electrics are inboard such as a boat, the circuit breaker is a better idea. Just carry a spare fuse, so you don't end up stranded.

Where did you get the small volt gauge you installed? Did you have a link?

[@TheAussieRepairGuy]

That was an aliexpress special, if you search aliexpress, ebay or other similar places for "self powered volt meter" you will find them.

@@TheAussieRepairGuy thanks for your help. Very appreciated!

[@MrJmannik]

needs more hot glue

[@TheAussieRepairGuy]

That can be easily rectified - probably worth doing actually, this thing cops a hiding as the 8x8 has no suspension
