We should have Castle 1515 Motor Jackets in about two weeks. David and I will be working on the rest of the 1515 sizes and new size 1717 motor line once I get samples.

This is fantastic...thanks for your hard work.
Would it be possible to make the outside diameter the same as your current 1515 style jackets (1.90" outside diameter). Any wider than 1.90" will not work in my Phil Thomas SS 21 because of current lipo battery sizes.
Its the same.

Will this jacket work on the longer 1520 motor?
I had read it on their site is all. No biggie but seems the coolers would be easier to put on and built the same way others are built.
Those jackets look great!
A couple of the 1717's showed up on the rc-monster site. Looks like a boo-boo on CC's part. The motor comes with a 6mm shaft instead of 5mm...
My prop hasn't been wet in a while.
Yep, hopefully Castle will correct this for us though. 6mm shaft in a boat isn't so bad, Steve sells couplers for 6mm shafts.
My 1520 has the 5mm shaft.
...
I received my 1515 aluminum water jacket from OSE. Fit is verygood and snug on the 1520.
No. I figured if I oiled everything up real good O rings will not leak. I also sanded down minor burrs inside of jacket where fitting holes were drilled and tapped.
How do you test for leaks. I have seen video, but I need a parts list. Maybe you can stock then sell these parts?

You can get the rubber thing that goes on sink faucets and then it reduces down and slip some silicone hose on it. Most home water pressures are around 40 PSI and up. It would be more than enough if you want to test it. Then plug the other end if you want to pressure it up.
Here's a water leak tester I made from parts laying around. Flared the end of some aluminum tubing, found a rubber nipple in my junk draw & good to go. Wear a raincoat when testing at first !! This little goodie has allowed me to finally fix many invisible leaks and finally have some dry boats.

Here is what I did

The adapter can be bought at any of the Home stores.
Home water pressure can easily over power a jacket, so ease into turning on the water.

Why the delay on these jackets? Is there a leaking problem?
...
There isnt a delay. I already sold a bunch.

So does a 1717 sized water jacket exist these days?
Steve do you have any more 1520 jackets still available? I possibly could use one
