Yes, note the word "surface". It's inside that you want to cool. Anyway, we never use cooling and we never have problems. I frequently touch the motors to check their temperature. I do it right before we lift it out of the field, and they're never very hot.
True, but the surface temperature is usually an indicator of the internal temperature. If it's hot, the inside surely is, and if it's not, the inside is probably cool (relatively speaking).
