I sent this earlier but it came back .??? Hi Jim and happy new year to you and your family. The shouldered shaft is a
good idea. I was talking to Gary at the psub convention about those seals. He
has his hatch dogs penetrating the hatch with handles on the outside as well as
the inside. I like the idea of having exterior handles in case you need to be
rescued. Anyway, he is using '' V Block '' seals on the four handles and said
they work well, and are inexpensive. I asked about replacement and that was easy
too. You remember his yellow sub at the pond ? He rebuilt the sub and it was
looking good. He has a business that makes underwater stuff, and would be a good
guy to contact. Here's his info : Gary Sluis, Michigan Offshore Technologies,
16083 Croswell St. West Olive MI. 49460 ( gary@michiganoffshore.net
) cell (616)403-4743
As for a visit, You're welcome any time. I'll send you an e-mail with
address etc.
