Nice sketches, you do a great job documenting what you are
planning. You are making this more complicated than necessary. The
socket plate style connection has been prone to jams in previous release applications
underwater. You would be better off to just use a threaded nut on the
tray and use a ratchet wrench from inside the hull to initiate release or an
arm (similar to the K-boats) that swings greater than 90 degrees for the release. You don’t want this to inadvertently release with a
hydraulic failure as you could be in a position to come up under another ship
which would ruin your whole day. Besides this hydraulic connection would
necessitate another through hull. R/Jay Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., Bahamas If

[mailto:owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org] On Behalf Of ShellyDalg@aol.com Hi Guys. I've made a few changes to my drop weight design. Here's
a sketch. I've been TIG welding the hull together all week, and hope to finish
soon. Next will be adding through hulls for the motors and ballast tanks. Frank D.
