[PSUBS-MAILIST] new Gamma pictures

[hank pronk]

Joe,
Thank you, 
The arm is swung into a parallel position when under way.  There is reference in the operating information to remove the retaining strap.  I assume when in transport the arm is secured in some way.  As for when towing, the hydraulic cylinder that controls swing will hold it strait.

BTW, how flush does that arm fold against the hull for towing and what holds it there?

Hank your commitment and results are an inspiration!

Kudos also to Vance for insuring that a piece of historical hardware referenced in the Busby text, went to your very capable hands. 

A decision I'm certain was not arbitrary.

Thanks' guys, I am pretty pleased with how it is turning out.
>Rick, the arm came with the sub.  I rebuilt it, that simply means I took it apart and painted it.  I put new seals and rods in the cylinders.  Pretty nice set up.

while picking up a load? What are the arms made of? any construction pictures of 
it while you went?

is not pumping oil.  I am hoping the oil is to heavy and cold to get sucked 
into the pump, that will be an easy fix.
