MP40w. Tank is very close to the wall so no way to thread the controller behind and into the stand.

I have heard you can separate the two halves of the controller and unplug, thread, replug and close up.

But I am having a devil of a job getting the cover off.

Suggestions and techniques?

Or am I wrong here?

Thx

Thx for that. Didn't realize it was that easy to do as the thijng seems to fragile.

BTW Why isn't this a waterproof unit with rubber seal etc?

Because it's not meant to be submerged. The costs for this product are very high, sealing things drives them up even more. That said, the newer ES driver is much more water resistant than the original WWD.

Who said anything about submerging it? This is attached to a large body of active salt water!! Splashing and salt creep DO occur whether we take really good care or not. Seems like a minor mod on a $440 device to add an o-ring and a groove to sit it in

Thanks for the help!
