 Hi Rick, thanks'  actually the pool is draining to be filled back in (-:  I got the trawl floats from Trawl Works a long time ago.  I think I have 25 of them.  They are rated for 1,500 feet and are real handy.Hank

 Great video Hank!It's nice to have all the equipment needed to do your projects. Once your done using the pool for the sub, you will have an ice skating rink in the winter right in your own back yard! Where do you get your 18 lb trawling floats and what depth are they rated for?Rick

Making A Test Pool For My Homemade Submarine

 |

 |

 |

Hi All, here is a test pool video.  I am very happy I went to the trouble to make the pool.  I saved a lot of trips to the lake to get it just right.  The sub is perfectly balanced now.  I am real happy with the stability.  There were a couple of problems with the forward fibreglass MBT.  I found several pinhole leaks.  Also when fabricating the tank, I left debris inside the tank that ended up in the vent valve.  That is about it for problems.  I have removed the body and located the leaks in the MBT and will repair them.  Pity the lakes are closed.  I will be on the lookout for some 1,000m foam to replace the temporary floats, in case someone comes across some.Hank
