Fitting propeller to shaft

I just bought plastic propellers to attach to bilge pumps to make thrusters but I don't have any prop adapters with me. Can anybody suggest how to mount the propeller on the shaft preferably without prop adapters of possible? I don't wanna spend too much. I read somewhere that using epoxy glue to mo...

Frame design selection

Hi. So far I had decided to make a cubical shaped ROV of 1.5ft dimensions but realised that will be too huge. So I want to change my design. The seafox design seems cool so I was thinking of doing something similar to it. Anybody has ideas of which design will be best? I will be using 3 thrusters 2 ...

We have designed a PVC pipe ROV as shown in the image with dimensions 1.5ftx1.5ftx1.5ft. The placement of the thrusters are not fixed and we may change it as we go about. We only have a variety of brushed motors available to us and were wondering which RPM brushed motors would be best suitable for t...
