Thanks Carsten & Dan.I didn't know if the metal hull of a psub was enough (or too much) of a heatsink to warrant additional hardware. I've seen many posts regarding the condensation issue, and made the assumption that it must get kinda warm inside a small psub.

Your body generate about 150 Watt.. In Sgt.Peppers I build the original electric heather out - and dive the boat in coold waters in a t-shirt. In Deepflight - a pressure hull made from grp or ceramic - it was obviously a cooling problem. regards Carsten Dan H. schrieb: > > Nomdae, >> Power is a precious commodity in a small sub.
