Alan,Your idea to be able to pump leaked water out through the hull is pretty interesting. Where did you find a 36v dc pump? Maybe I am overthinking the idea.Hank

Hank,no not a DSV. I have forgotten the lpm rate, but not high. The pressure is 650psi so it can easily operate at my maximum depth of 500ft.The intention as a bilge pump was to just act as a hand held suction hose to mopup any wash that may come in, & comply with G.L. I am not planning on major leaks!I am wanting 2 solenoid ballast valves (inlet & outlet) to work in unison, mainly soI can ride a bit higher while towing, as the inlet valve will stop the air in the tankcompressing, & also as a safe guard if the sub is left floating in the water forlong periods of time.Alan

Alan,That will be a pretty slow pump, good for deballasting but not so good if you have a leak at the surface and want to save the sub. So your new sub is going to have sealed ballast tanks? interesting. Hmmmm that makes it a DSV ;-)Hank
