sensor wire water proofing???
 
I just picked up one of the new Tekin 412 ROC motors and was wondering what is the best way to protect the sensor wire plug at the motor from water????

Dialectic grease in the sensor port and then plug the wire in.


You really should take it apart and water proof the whole thing if you plan on sinking it.

What all can I water proof in the motor, all the rest of my electrics are in a sealed box....

Get some Corrosion X and dip both sides of the sensor board in it. Let it dry overnight and reassemble.

Is there any other products like Corrosion X I could use on the sensor board in the motor, the closest place to me I can find to my here in Oshawa, Ontario Canada is like 60 some miles a way......

Rustoleum Neverwet is a new product you might be able to find at your local hardware store. It's a little more complicated though. It's a two step process.
