[Alan James]

Thanks for the update Hank,
glad to know I'm not missing too much by not having them.

After talking with a coupler manufacture, I learned there is a 5 to 10% power loss due to eddy currents.  I don't think it is worth the cost and effort given the depths I will reach.  Just for interest sake, the coupler for 200inlb torque is 1,200 dollars plus the containment shield.
