[PSUBS-MAILIST] Dome Hatch Protection Ideas

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

That sounds like a really good idea. Snoopy has a high quality wood crate for the dome, but the thing took up half the truck and I would not repeat it.

Best,
Alec

With the dome on a flat surface, lay up a fiberglass shell with a flat flange wide enough to bolt thru. Thickness of .25" should give you a nice protective shell that can be bolted to a plywd, or fiberglass disk for transportation, or to hang on your shop wall.  I am doing this as a transportation cover for my domes on the SeaQuestor.
