[Clifford Redus via Personal_Submersibles]

Two aft thrusters that are fixed horizontally are used for forward, reverses and yaw control.  To fixed vertical thrusters located in wings for vertical depth station keeping, pitch and roll control. Each will have a dedicated minn Kota motor controller.  0-5vdc analog output signal to each motor controller will come through PLC analog output module.  A analog input module of the PLC will accept signals from a 3-axis joystick and a foot control.

While I do drop the boat speed dramatically, I get a simple propulsion and maneuvering system that is quite and easy to maintain.  In a few months, I will let you know if I was successful.
