RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] minn kota 2 hp
Thanks a lot for the explanation Dan, that question was in my mind for
months but then, I always forget about it to focus on the construction of
the sub, I'm 75% in the construction of my sub and when I think about of all
the details I have taken care off and all the hours I have spent in this
project I understand why you called your sub PERSINTENCE, jejeje....I hope
next year when I'm finished with the Jules Verne (that is going to be my sub
name), I can ask you a few more details about it's operation. Thank you very
much, Best Regards. Daniel

Daniel,
On my K-350, I have three motors, pretty much as the original plans. Most
of the time I only use the side thrusters, and my side thrusters are only
3/4 Hp.
When on the surface, if I want more speed, I turn on my 2 Hp rear thruster.
I can vary the speed of it, but surfaced, I usually use it on full speed.
Once it's on, there is no reason to bother with the controls so my hands are
back on the both side thruster controls where I can turn them on full speed
also and use them to help stay on course. Note, my side thrusters are only
on and off, so I have to pulse them to control the subs speed
Submerged, traveling near the bottom, I rotate my side thrusters to an up or
down position and leave them there. I use only my rear thruster for
forward backward propulsion. I have it turned way down to a very slow speed
so I can go slowly. If I'm getting to high or to close to the bottom, I
give a quick burst of power to one of my side thrusters. You don't need to
be in full control of each thruster all of the time as you may think.
The sub just floats there and all it takes is a little burst of push to get
it moving in the direction you want. Much of the time, your actually
drifting between powered times. After all, it's more like a boat on water
then a car on land.
Hope this helps, Dan H.
