Re: variable ballast
Rick,
I don't vent the excess except to adjust trim in which case is done manually.
Otherwise a relief valve would lift and bubble excess--not a bad idea and
exactly what HBOI does with the JSLs. In their case, max depth of 1/2 mile
works out to well over 1000 psi, more than the aluminum trim tanks need to
worry about. In my case, max of 160 psi plus pre-set of regulatos is well
within the capabilities of my system so I just trim the boat and let it eat.
Regards,
Vance
