Post by Ian MacKenzie »

Here's the finished manipulator. I meant to add this onto my Retro-Retrofit SeaFox post. My bad.

looks nice, what kind of seal did you use on the rotating bars leaving the motor? Is it an electricity junction box?

Thanks.
I used a U-cup seal i bought from McMaster Carr. I cut away the outside of the cup and epoxied them onto the box with JB Weld.
The box is a "water proof" electrical box. It has a rubber gasket. Stays dry in the sink. We'll have to wait and see what happens in the ocean.
