Wet side has been having problems since pesky snail got in there. The propeller looks good but i don't known if it has become stripped if I have to buy maintenance kit its only 20 so that would make me happy if its toast then it will got me 80. I like to see if someone can tell me which i will need please.

You need to be more specific with the "problem".  What's happening exactly?  Is it noisy, or is the controller flashing red?  Be a little more specific and I'm sure someone here will be able to give some advice.  Also how old are your MP40's?  Did you buy new or used?

Welcome to Vortec. Sad to hear you are having issues with them. This is a case of you do [not] get what you pay for. Good luck.

I took it apart and followed how to put it back together and it starts to spin and makes a bit of loud sound and then stops moving. Then red light comes on. I didn't tighten nut to much like it said and i am pretty sure alining up right. Not much to wetsides so i don't think they are broke just wish I knew someone close to take a look at them.

Sounds like calibration was not performed correctly.

That's a guide to solve your problem

I have a friend that had similar issues and turned off the Disconnect Auto-Shut off mode and it's been running since with no other issues.
