Hi Scott,
I see what you're talking about. It's the rubber
diaphragm clamped to a housing that
has two hoses attached. It looks home
made.
Perhaps find something brass in a plumbing store you can
modify. ( or use a solder sucker)
I just made a remote fine adjustment system for my front
ballast tank by attaching the electromagnet & plunger
from a car solenoid to the valve off a toilet
cistern.
This is my two penneth worth in case no one
else comes to your rescue.

It is in Dan Hryhorcoff's project photos. Picture 24 and 25.
It is the black rubber thing with the metal ring. Can't seem to find
anything like it. Anyone have any ideas? Also what kind of oil do you think
you would use, maybe just a lightweight auto oil or something even lighter?
I'll be uploading more pics soon. I have made tons of progress including a
really cool new thru-hull design that is basically
complete! Thanks, Scott

Hi Brian,
It's to protect the innards of the depth gauge
from corrosion from seawater.

Why do you need a bladder for the depth gage?
