The control linkages and prop shaft are run through the base of the container which is of a good thickness. I have used the "Caswell" push rod seals for the linkages and a stuffing box for the prop shaft. They are all held in place with some silicone tube and epoxy.
The lid of the container holds the 2 air hoses for the remote ballast system.
I am using an old, cut down 9 volt cordless screw driver for the power plant. They have a good motor in them and a strong rotary reduction gear box
The motor/gearbox, receiver, switches for the pumps, ESC, on/off switch, servos and 12 volt LA battery are all sealed inside the container and so far it seems very water tight
This is how I plan to install the 2 plastic containers inside the boats hull
Next step is to trim the boat then detail and paint
