hi Carsten, thanks for the input, there is one point i will like to bring
up, which kind of comunications gear , between the rescue boat and the
psubs,for them to know the psub is in trouble before it is overdue, and for
them to be able to locate  your position, besides the buoy, because murphy
was driving a powerboat and caught the emergency buoy on the propellor, and
took it whith him,,..... dammm murphy

2 i have a link on a blade that attach on the back of the prop. and will cut
rope up to 1/2 inch, as soon as i find it i will posted if anybody thinks it
can be use
