Hi Alan
thanks for the input. I have been wondering while building my sub if one
would be necessary as all my use will be in the ocean rather than a lake
like a lot of Psuberss. Though I don't plan on
transferring persosnell while offshore, I would like to know that I can
open the hatch for whatever reason and not get swamped! Emile, if you see
this can you send me a couple of pictures of yours and how you attached it?
you can send it to satwelder at gmail.com.
Thanks
Rick
