All:
I agree completely with Vance on the electromag
weight drop question. The rotation cam-over-center or latch-pivot operated
by a thru' hull shaft has certainly stood the test of time. There are a number
of variations including a layered weight plates system with alternating
keyed slots so you can drop just enough to make you buoyant and so on - but I
believe the KISS principal very much applies here.
