RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Underwater Anchor System
Well basicly yes, that is possible. But I'm afraid that water could also
penetrate the motor as most winches I have seen are not waterproof. Also
esteticly it will be nicer to have the whole system hidden for the exception
of the anchor. As they say that an image tell more than words can so, I
attached a gif file with the idea.
Thanks for the input Rob,
Eliezer Rodriguez
