Hi, Cliff - nice to see the progress on your sub. That is one beautiful boat!!
I have a thought about your lines. Since you're in really poor vis would it be prudent to keep your locating line, but, keep it buoyed by intermittent floats along the rope? This is a buoy system we use up here that keeps lines off the bottom. Whether it would be practical as far as your intakes are concerned is another matter, but, it may just save your bacon.
Ciao
