Hi good morning everyone.
A newbie here based in sunny? Somerset.
Interesting thread about pumps because I have a similar question.
First of all may I say that I spent some years in the N sea and elsewhere as an engineer on anchor handling/rig support ships.
Most of the ships had White gill jet thrusters which were not the most efficient but were powerful and effective.
On more than one occasion brought the ship crawling home safely when main propulsion had died.
Anyway, enough of that, my query is:
I am sure a lot of you are familiar with the scale thruster marketed in various places from a firm beginning with R.
These are quite powerful units and adaptable but appear to last about five minutes before the fit between the motor shaft and paddle become u/s.
I have resin them in position to try to hold them but to limited success.
As a keen scale steering comp. man I find it very frustrating.
Any ideas.
