Hi Jim, Well done. I think you should rename Guppy to Perseverance.
The price you pay for doing something a bit different! But the satisfaction you
must be getting! What are the things you would do differently or
change. Is the VBT bigger than you need? Why did you go so big on
them? What height have you got from your hatch to the water? Are
you close to what you predicted. Would love to see a blog on it.
Have you got that forward sonar, Interphase, working and how good is it.
I am still trying to decide on one. Best wishes and Good diving.

tds.net Hi All, Test # 5 was by far the best ever! The long frustrating electrical problem with the port
forward thruster is finally solved. While I ordered 3 101's I really received 2
101's and a 24 volt thruster. Unfortunately this was discovered only after
purchasing another thruster and controller. Apparently, the controller tried to
save the 24 volt thruster when current draw was too high, by shutting it down. Also am beginning to get a good handle on the amount of
reserve bouyancy availible. Went out with myself, another person 220# and 228 #
of lead. Was able to get exactly neutral bouyancy by taking on about 300#
of water in the hard tanks (1/2 of my capacity). After blowing hard and soft
ballast we were able to walk on the deck with out getting our feet wet! NOW, I'm going to put my PSUBS stickers on my Guppy! Best Regards, Jim K __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature
