Jon,
It might work well to install electric actuators to rotate the motors
on their shafts. They don't require frequent adjustment on any given dive,
so the battery drain is minimal. If you want to set up duplicate controls
at the conning tower and the forward position, that's certainly doable.
Giving up the ability to rotate the orientation of the motors seems like a big
sacrifice.

Vance,
It was just a drawing of the penetrator for
illustration, but you've got the idea exactly. Strap/Chain wrench is
exactly what I was thinking about. I know sometimes you can put a 2 or 3
foot bar on it and get some good leverage.
I've never much cared for
the rotating motors even though they are practical. Unless you have long
arms, you have to scrunch down in the conning tower to reach the controls and
then lift your neck up high to see out the conning tower. I'm
considering mounting them permanent rather than rotating. I could do
that easily enough as is just by locking them in place, but I wonder how they
would perform if they were mounted at a 45 degree angle (oriented up/down)
similar to the DS2000.
