Air or vaccum power will not work in a sub. 

Try a electric one. 

24 Volt or 12 V are rare - normaly 400 volt and high frequency - you need a transformer. 

 

But notice: 

 

The get out of course after 0,5 - 2 hours. And will be normaly re-adjust by a magnetic one in a aircraft. 

 

Ebay cheaps are often out of service / out of course. The normaly run but get quick out of course. 

Units with work proper certificate (Airworthy) are much more expensive. 

 

Buy three and select the best working - sale the rest again.

Hank, 

 

Try using a gyro compass ( or atifical horizon) from an aircraft. They sre either air, vaccum or electric  powered.

I am going to try to make a gyro compass, looks doable.  I don't care about what direction I am going-I just want to go in a strait line.  I will point the sub in the direction I want to go at the surface, then turn on the gyro and sink.   Then I can just follow the gyro.
