A hatch opening to the side on a PSUB the size of a K-350 is probably not feasible due to hanging all of that weight over on one side at height will result in a severe list. And some loss of buoyancy will also occur as the opened bottom ballast tanks burp. http://www.subdive.com/images/subdive6a.jpg R/Jay Resepectfully, Jay K.

From: owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org [mailto:owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org] On Behalf Of Steve McQueen Brent, this is pretty much my CT minus the hatch. The CT bolts on so I guess you can change the hinge position as desired. This is the first orientation to the side I have seen. I was wondering how you could tell that the dogs can be operated from the exterior? Thanks, Steve McQueen, Indianapolis, IN |
