Changing HALL sensors to my HPM3000?

[Kamelisko]

Hello. I've been using goldenmotor HPM3000 now for several years in my boat. It has been working well. However last summer thunderstorm broke the two of the hall sensors in the motor. I bought a new motor and it's now broken as well. I probably need new controller. (The old VEC is little outdated...)

But. In order to get the motor(s) working I need to change the HALL sensors for them. Has anyone done this before? I couldn't find anything about them.

Especially I'm interested how the motor should be opened without braking anything (wires, bearings etc.)

If I'm going to do that I probably do a video about it. You can check the videos of my conversion on YouTube: Arctic SeaCamel.
(IMO the sensors should be made super easy to change, they're basically only thing that can break in motor like this - but that's another topic...)

Thanks!

I read somewhere that they are not the easiest to change in a Goldenmotor, but I think someone on the "Electric Sailboats" group on Facebook has done it. Please let me know if you find the info, as it would be a really good thing to know about. I recently bought a spare GM that was being sold 2nd hand for cheap precisely in case something similar happens to me at sea.

I found this YouTube video showing where the Hall Sensors are located inside the motor, which might help you to understand how the motor comes apart to gain access to them. Make sure you have captions turned on if you want to know what is being said. 

Unfortunately, I don't know if the HPM3000 motor uses the same Honeywell SS41 Hall sensors that are used for replacements in all of their other hub motors, or whether they use a different type.
