The Thruster Assembly
Step 8

MATERIALS: Completed frame Butyl Rubber tape Electrical tape

Figure 14: Waterproofed tether tied in strain relief loop

PROCEDURE:

1. Once the thrusters have been mounted, follow the wire pairs from the thrusters, to where they meet inside the tether sheath.
2. Take some Butyl Rubber tape and press it over the wire pairs and the sheath. Work it in well so that it seals both around and between the wires and sheath.
3. Wrap electrical tape over the Butyl Rubber tape.
4. After water proofing the tether, make a loop in the tether (refer to figure 14), and attach to the vehicle frame with the tie wraps (zip ties).

Note: Make sure Butyl Rubber tape DOES NOT touch any exposed wires.
