Hi guys. Here's a quick little sketch of the controller box and linkage. As
I said earlier, I want to have the box mobile so I can stand up in the sub with
my head sticking out to drive on the surface. I wish I was better at doing the
computer graphics ( like Brent or Joe Perkle ) but this will give you some idea
of how it works. Again, the Minnkota speed controllers have lugs on them where
the wires from the motors plug in, and the wires from the batteries plug in.
With 4 motor/controller joysticks, that equals 16 wires so the cable will be a
little bulky, but still very flexible. The top of my sub is 52 inches from the
floor, so I can stand up inside and my head and shoulders will be in the open
hatch, giving me good vision all around while driving around on the surface like
at the dock etc. Frank D.
Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year. |
