Through Hulls |
Submersible Build Log |
I made delrin plugs to fit into the ends of the side thruster through hulls. The bottom ones had tightly threaded holes for the brass rods. I then mixed up the epoxy and poured it in. The plugs held the brass electrical connetors in the correct place and also provided a seal for the epoxy while it was liquid. The muck on the sides of the through hulls is just glue left over from the tape I used to protect them while the internal bores were grit blasted. I just need to spend some time cleaning it off. The grit blasting was to ensure good adhesion of the epoxy to the internal bore. |
