My only other thought would be some sort of a grating weather deck to which the bags could be affixed underneath.

> Sean,  Agreed a empty tube would work great but like you said it would impede my view downwards.  The bags ar 36 inches by 27 inches by 15 inches inflated.  I don't have to fully inflate them because they are over size to what I need.  I was thinking a hinged, curved wing, so the wing drops down clearing my view.  The bags are pretty tough because they are rated for 65 psi internal pressure.

I have to figure out how to secure them to the sub.  I am thinking a fold away panel, or spring loaded straps.  They have a 1.25 inch fitting on the top and on the end when laying flat.  I need some ideas?  I will have two side bags and one behind the sphere.
