Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Underwater Anchor System

Let's not limit our imagination either. If one doesn't like or trust
electricity or sealed motors, then lets use hydraulics. A hydraulic pump
turns a shaft paying out the anchor line and a different pump turns the
shaft the other way bringing the line in. Only the hydraulic lines pass
through the hull. Nothing to short out or go wrong. There's always the
K.I.S.S. principle.
