PROPWASH 16 October 2022 Rewinding the Aquacraft Motor (Continued from page 15) Once the stator is out you need to remove the wire without chipping the insulating coating on the stator too much. Pick a nicer one than the one in the picture if you don’t want to recoat it. Don says minor chips can be repaired with a coating of CA. He has a much fancier process for recoating the stator if needed. I cut the wire at each exposed coil and pulled out the wires. Fried AquaCraft stator The next step is recreating the wind you will be using with one wire that represents the bundle of wires you will actually use. I took apart an old phone cord and used one color of wire for each leg. The original motor has a two turn, distributed wind. The legs are connected in the wye configuration on the stock Aquacraft motor. he picture below shows this on the stock motor with one end of the legs connected together and the others free for connection to the esc. AquaCraft stator winding Wye wind start Start with the yellow wire and run it back skipping two slots counterclockwise. The input end is where the ESC output will be connected, the front end is where the output shaft will go. First coil loop start Run the wire back to make two wires in each slot. This completes the first coil. Ignore the number of wires at the ends of the stator. It’s the number of wires in the slots that count.
