Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Steinke Hoods



Thanks for the info Carsten and offer.
 
I think I will try and repair the unit myself. If that fails, I send will send  Greg a picture of the phase plate and see what he thinks would be involved in fixing.  My plan C will be to come back to you for cost to buy your one spare unit but first I would have to take out a home equity loan to cover the cost!

Hi Cliff,

I dont remember well but I think I got mine also from Alec?

I have just sold four for the equiment of KSS Eurosub(3 action and 1 training unit)
Still have now 7 here and need for Euronaut just 5-6.
So one can be sold if no other way can be found for a nightmare of money..

Unit comes with new neck skirt from compress neopren because on most of mine units the neck skirt get pretty
hard and I let them replace by a scuba-suit manufactuer.
Neck skirt has no hole so you can make it to your personaly neck.

Here Emile just wear one for demonstration action:

But maybe for you it is a better and cheaper way:
Bring or send your damage unit to a Bimini/sail maker and just replace the clear face plate.
They have normaly the same material for the motorboat sprayhood windows.

New ones also available for around 3000 USD..
