Triton, I was thinking of using a wire frame or cage around the prop to try and keep some gunk out of it. Scuber, on my motor there is a raised bearing right where the shaft exists the housing, I assume it's water-tight, so I just spread the Shapelock around the raised beraing so the plastic would b...

That would be really interesting to build. I wonder how hard it would be.

Update! I've changed the orientation of the frame a bit, and changed the housing. the problem with the last housing was that it leaked a lot around the hatch. So This should be better. Hopefully.

Ok, cool thank, I'll be sure to do that.

Just an update:

I have redesigned the camera housing because my original was too leaky. I don't have any pictures yet but I do have a PDF drawing file that is pretty applicable for any housing.
