RE: RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] newbie questions
I've heard George cut the hull towards the stern and put flanges on each
of the two parts to bolt it together, but I have no idea if he had to
lengthen it -- in a photo it looks the same as a normal K-350. He had a
snorkel that looks about 3-4 feet tall behind the coning tower. The
snorkel had a poppet valve at the top to shut it off upon submerging,
but also of course a hull stop on the inside. The snorkel was not piped
to the engine, it simply allowed air into the cabin and the diesel took
air from the cabin atmosphere. Cooling was via sea water. Exhaust was
into the water. Transmission via a standard marine gearbox with forward
and reverse. I have only seen a photo, and spoken to George about it
briefly, so that's the sum total of what I know about the diesel
electric K-350. Do we have anyone on the list who has actually seen it
in person?
Thanks,
Alec

Is there any more information available on this? Did he have to extend
the hull at all?
