Hi,

We have some pictures up on the web site. Go to:

http://www.psubs.org/convention/2003/

Select "Lake Diver - K350 (2)"

The bouy is the spool thing in the picture on the left side, second picture down.

Select "Lake Diver - K350 (3)"

The bouy is the spool thing in the pictures on the third row down, 2nd and 3rd from left.
Click on these pictures for close ups.  As you can see, the spool is held down with bungy cords.
What is not clear is that in the picture 2nd from left, the bungy cord goes through the big hole of
the flat bar. There is a second bar just below that one with slots on each end. At the end of the
bungy there is a knot. So the bungy goes through the big hole to be held by the knot in the slot.
The bar with the slots rotates horizontally on a shaft through the hull. You can just see the weld
buildup where that through hull is (just above the black airline and below the flat bar).

To operate the bouy a quick twist  will slide the bungy knot(s) off the sloted bar on one end.   Releasing the bouy which unrolls as it ascends.

Regards,
Ray
