[PSUBS-MAILIST] Electrical thru-hull

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

I hope you're getting more than 10% Cliff, should be 30%.  I need the 
penetrator series (nine of them) for the K600 and even with the discount 
they are wicked expensive.  I have the original penetrators and all of 
them appear to be in good shape but at more than 35 years old now I 
don't think I should trust them.
