Strange phenomenon that I can't seem to trace. The kilo runs fine on surface and 3 ft under but when it hits 5-6 ft it blows a fuse. I can't imagine the pressure causing that much more drag on the prop. Any thoughts?

Pressure is deranging the running gear at a bearing or coupler, increasing the torque load. There is relative motion between your motor-bulkhead and the rest of the running gear.Who is John Galt? -
Would increase outside pressure cause the shaft seal lip to tighten up too much against the shaft?Make it simple, make strong, make it work!Comment

If it's running cup seals, that could be, but at those shallow depths (relatively speaking) I can't see the difference being considerable. More likely Dave's thought. Pressure is distorting things, causing binding somewhere.
