    ESC fluid?

    What would a yellowish fluid coming from the esc mean? Ran the boat for about 20 seconds at only about 1/4 throttle than it stopped. Reeled her in and popped the hatch and there was yellow fluid. Looked like it came out of the esc.

    Oooch. Thats probably the oil from one or more of your caps. If thats the case do not use that speedo untill you determine which one/ones are leaking. Having said that it could also be the silicone oil coming out of suspension if you have a heat sink on the speedo and providing that indeed a liquid based heat transfer goo was used. Most use thermal pads now so its a bit rare to hear of that stuff being used anymore.

      Looking at the caps they look fine. I didn't even get a chance to run the boat hard so I don't think there was alot of heat build up or spike. Its a seaking 120.

        Could it just be greasy/oily water coming in from your stuffing tube? Is it even oily fluid?

          Didn't seem oily. It was definitely coming from the esc though. The esc doesn't work, even if I use the program card for it, the card doesn't even turn on.

            I thought it was water that got in the esc and the yellowish fluid was some form of coating from the circuit board.

                Yes! You are quite correct.

                  Also guys, it does appear that the caps are slightly bulged and not flat. Would it be easy to replace these caps? Replace with which ones? Or is the Seaking 120 dead? I might have to just break down and get the seaking 180 like I wanted to.

                    Well, if you can still arm your ESC and run the motor than your caps are still ok.
                    Post pictures please so we can see the caps...
                    Maybe you can capture your esc problem and post it also....

                              And how! Seen that many times over the years. Dont try and operate the esc. Its probably already toast. But get some more caps installed before you do anything. You need any,.... contact me. I have a huge inventory.
