“extra thick walled” SCH 80 PVC. This type of
PVC fits so tight onto the MJ housing that you
may wish to even skip cutting the pain in the butt
lip. This is the easiest of all the mods to build. To
the right is a pic of what it will look like when you
are done. If you are looking for instructions for

Step One
Remove the rubber ring from the MJ or this will be
a real pain. Using a dremel or another tool of
your choice cut the Notches in the pipe so they
will fit over the clips on the MJ.
Step two (Optional)
The pipe should fit on extremely tight but if you
would like extra security you can cut a notch in
the pipe so it can be locked into place with the
clips. Set the table saw blade at about 1/8 and
the fence at the same. Spin the pipe around on
the blade to cut the lip. Once the lip is cut you
need to shave off a bit all around the edge so the
pipe can turn when you have it on the MJ. .
Should be noted that your hands are close to the
saw and this is not the safest operation.
Step Three
Either drill holes or use a table/miter/chop/tile saw
to cut the nice little slits. If you choose to drill the
holes you can use a sewing measuring tape to
wrap around it and mark where you want them. If
you drill small pilot holes first you will have even
better results. I obviously didn’t measure my
holes. Using bits made for drilling plastic will make
things easier also.
Step four
Drill a 3/16” hole about 1/8” from the top and then
stick in about a ½” of the acrylic rod. This will stop
the prop if it goes the wrong way and send it back
in the right direction
Step Five
Put the little red cap on one end of the rod and
assemble it all. Glue the centering cap onto the
pipe, put a dab of glue on the center of the cap
where the rod is and you are done. You really
should let it dry overnight . Some of the globs of
glue will take hours to dry and you don’t want to
fall apart. I personally use glue accelerator that
almost every hobby shop in the world sells. This
stuff makes it dry in seconds rather than hours. I
personally glue the hanging attachment that
comes with the MJ to hold it on the tank but you
could also glue the suction cup attachment on.
