Just want to stick another feather in this guy's cap. Technically there was no sale, only honest advice. Future sales guaranteed for this.

Bought a couple of things from this guy, great comm., great service, exactly as advertised.

Waiting patiently on your return!

Hey thanks man, and on that pic, you and me both bro! Maybe not on this boat but stay tuned for my other build thread.

Yeah I know what you're saying about the 90's on the head, the problem is I can't get a 90 in the front. I tried every trick I know,( street 90, cut down fittings, grinding). On the stock head that's where that little 1/8 stainless line comes through so I just always drill that out instead of...

Right @ 4:20

Hey man I see you do a lot of carbon builds. Do you bond your carbon hull back to batt ? I've been searchin on this subject and can't get any definitive answers on the subject. Some off-shore race boat guys bond everything, tanks, motors, drives. Curious what you do.

This is my favorite pic of BETA's deployment

Thanks ZZ. I didn't want to keep buggin you so I found John to bug. When I mentioned solder, he went off. So I figured try it without, I could always solder later. Happy to say, no issues so far. BTW, do you use the 6th pin for a 2nd ground? Seems like it would make sense in your case. Yeah and...

Uh-oh ,What are you seeing Jordan? I admit its a bit Das Boot, but do you see a technical issue?

Thanks man coming from you, that is some sweet music to my ears!;)

In the past I ran them. Some guys in my group still run them and it seems like even though the filter catches the bulk of it, we've had situations where the filter mechanism winds up clogged, now your on the side of the creek , tide going out , friggin greenheads about to carry you away and...

The creeks I ride are hardly creeks, lots of mud, weeds. B pipe jet hole clogs are frequent. I do this. And the tool. Side of creek self contained unclogging kit.

This has to piss more people off than just me. I wound up making this.

Believe it or not your done. The pins and sockets just plug into housing, install cavity plug, push in the wedgelock.

When stripping wires, use the step as a strip gauge. Crimp on your pin or socket. The dedicated crimpers are of a ratcheting/threshold type, they'll automatically release when you've reached proper tension. Be sure to fully seat your pin/socket in the tool.

Now's the time for new sheathing, McMaster 5/16 worked, nice loose, should drain. *Note, I switched to an ATP box, 5/16 is to big for the compression connector they use, you got to go with 1/4 there making for an interesting fight. I soldered 5 stator wires to 1, then massaged them through the 1/4.

I used the Zerk fitting mounting bracket to mount the plug, I used this step on housing for a where to cut gauge. Also in this pic are the strippers I use, Commercial Elec from Home D. The mounting clip also came from John.

On to the install. I figured where I wanted the Plug/Receptacle . My reasoning here is if I pull the motor(heavy, awkward) there is no way the stator wire can lay under the motor getting crushed. Another thing I've noticed is used stators all have different length wires on them, but they're all...

Since I'm only doing 1 size wire,(16 ga), I wound up selecting solid nickel pins and sockets.( The little connectors inside the plug and receptacle). @zzylstra mentioned he had some issues and wound up soldering, when I mentioned this to John I was scolded loudly with a NEGATIVE. I was basically...
