Mako DPV Motor Compartment Flood and Repair
So I am scootering along, about to finish a great dive to Rubicon Wall in Lake Tahoe, when I notice some small bubbles spining in the prop wash of my scooter. I release the trigger, and a few bubbles float out of the prop area of my scooter ... Damn, the motor compartment is flooded.

Back on the beach I took the batter compartment of the scooter apart. After removing the battery holder, I scraped the silicon sealent away from the brass plug. And then tried to drain as much of the water in the motor compartment as possiable out that hole. I also removed the rear main seal, but not much water came out.
The screw driver is pointing to the brass plug.
The next day I went to Orchards, and bought a pick set to help remove all the silicon sealant from the 12 screws.
The pick set. Removing the silicon so I can get to the motor compartment.
With the screws removed, the top of the motor compartment can be removed. The
wet motor!
Top of the motor compartment, the relay board.
I rinsed out the motor compartment, and then let it dry.
The 12 motor compartment screws and orings had so much silicon junk on them, I decided to replace them. I think the screws were 8-32 x 5/8, and the o-ring 1/4" ID x 3/8" OD.
