Now for the "Frank method" .......not being a math guy, I'd take a 5 gallon
can of water, pump it through at 500 psi, and time how long it takes. Not that I
don't love formulas, just that I've never had much luck trying to predict with
math exactly what happens. Not only do I find an answer to a question, but
testing usually gives me insight into other aspects of a particular design that
I had never even considered. I bet that tiny hole will spit out lots of spray.
Not only just the water volume to deal with, but the possibility that it will
spray all over the place, make it VERY difficult to see what you're doing, freak
everybody out, and get some parts wet that really don't like being wet.
I know you guys are tired of hearing this, but no way am I
putting a shaft through my hull. If it leaks, I'm closing the valve, blowing the
tanks, and going UP! This boat needs to be able to take a beating, get a
quick fix, and get back to work.
Nice formulas though. I'll definitely save those for future use. Thanks
