Hi Frank,
If your lifting eye is welded in the upright position it could
work but if it is lying down against the hull then a problem.
This is where swimming pool technology should assist. Drop
a dummy into the deep end of the pool and simulate. Keep tabs of the number
of attempts.
Whilst you can do it in air, with the water around it will damp
things down, mess with your eyesight and make you rely on feel more.
Also in keeping with the way you do things. Practical.
Chs, Hugh

Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Safety Hook
Here's a little sketch on an idea I had for a simple hook to
follow the buoy line down. It's much like Phil's idea, but I'm using the
lifting eyes I have welded to my sub. With a "three prong" approach,
ONE of those damn things ought to grab.
It would operate like a fish hook where the support crew would
keep "jigging" the hook up and down until it grabbed.
Any comments ?
