Frank thanks for the responce

 

 

Yes, it's cold out there.....Gonna need some rags in your sub to wipe the windows with.

I think some insulation and or a little heat may be in order. Also kinda pleased with

this problem being a diver for 35 yrs I am really tired of that dry air.

Hydraulics are good for control surfaces and many other exterior devices

I also am planning using a Porta power (hand acutated 10 ton Hydraulic

ram) to released drop weights and battery pods if need be. simple rack

with sheer pins system

.

Ambient trolling motors won't go that deep.

I hope you misunderstand my depths. working depth will be 400, max of 500 ft fw

the 1500 ft is minimum crush depth. I know they will be pancakes at that depth

but really want to use multple trolling motors for propulsion and manuevering.

Some of my design will be desinged to be in trouble over 500 ft. This is a saftey

factor I use to curb my urges of "Damn the torpedos full speed ahead"

Electrical thru-hulls can be purchased, or hand built. It's not rocket science. Just good glue.

I like the idea of a floating antenna. Never heard of one before......Good idea

 

Frank my idea here is to pull a low resistance float with big dive flag on top with the

Gps and radio antennas. I am trying to design an automatic real using the angel of

tow rope to keep it in the appropriate location behind the sub and not interfere with

depth changes as I cruise the bottom. I will post full detail dwgs of device if I get

there.

using any kind of glue to attach something to the outside is not gonna work.

Weld a bracket, and bolt it on.

Good luck in your adventure, and remember to have fun......FRank D.

once again thanks and I can really get going now. Last night installed Solid Works

so my really wild imagination can be released big time.
