Greetings Pierre
I use bilge pumps on my home built ROV, and unfortunately they barely do the job and my ROV only weighs about 8 pounds. See http://jackson.parcabul.com/rov/index.html I am in the process of upgrading my ROV and converting the bilge pumps to use impellers but even then I don't think they would stand a chance of pushing your sub around. I am going to test a bilge pump to 150 feet because I need one on my sub when it is surfaced. You might be interested in that. It could be used to give a wet or ambient more freeboard by pumping a ballast tank dry once surfaced, consuming battery instead of compressed air. Here is the pump I am going to test: http://jackson.parcabul.com/sub/shurflow_bilge_pump.htm
How are you coming on your sub?
Kindest Regards
Doug Jackson
