Water tight motor housing

[RonP-UK]

It's sometimes awkward to put the drive motors within the pressure hull so they will need to go in the freeflood. You can of course construct a water tight box with a lid on but getting those things water tight can be a bitch (why is it if you use a flange and gasket and grease and a million screws it leaks yet a single tea leaf will stop up the sink for a week) any road up (English expression for anyway) here is a simple solution and not to difficult to make, any suitable size tube will do and the rest is just machined up from scrap lumps of resin and acrylic. Hope you guys like it.

I really like it. I take it that it is a 550 motor. Can you tell me what is the outside dia. of the clear tube. Hobby Lobby has planetary gearboxes that could be installed on the front of it. I might be able to use something like that in the near future!
