[PSUBS-MAILIST] Still waiting

Hi Brian,If the hose does become an issue, I use hydraulic hose for vacuum testing.  Sounds under control though.  You must be just itching to get it in the water.Good luck.Hank

 Hi All,                 Still waiting to do another test.  Been taking care of a lot of details.  I wanted to have a vacuum line that I could hook up to my portable compressor and I wasn't sure if the flexible hose would collapse or not, but it doesn't seem to be an issue.  Also had a couple of issues with my motor pod.  I had a unnecessary concentric pipe arrangement that was not sealing properly and realized I can just weld it.  This first motor pod, being the first prototype I had some extra fudge factor elements involved to help me get things aligned properly.  Now I have a better handle on what I need to do for the fabrication process.  Also had to locate another big truck to tow me down there to the harbor.  And I decided to make extra bars of lead, in case I'm not heavy enough.   Brian_______________________________________________
