Reply To: Substituting capacitors for condensers

[Buccaneer]

Here’s the list of the caps I’ve been using the last couple of years, gleaned
from information on this site.
However, I was recently told that the .20 axial ones listed (little square orange ones)
may not be up to the task. Non of my motors get run “hours” on the lake,
but can say I’ve run some around the lake for an hour and they kept running
great……. guess I’ll find out someday out in the middle of the lake if they fail.
