Default RE: Help make my sub move with out sinking.

What you need is called a stuffing tube, it's a piece of (brass) pipe that goes through the hull, with bearings on each end, put the propshaft in,after filling/stuffing it with grease, and you should be waterproof.

On the other hand, electric motors will run under (fresh!) water, so as a last resort, you could mount the motor outside the hull.
