<div>Did you take any pictures of the glove or any of the other
"innovations"? Any guesses as to what material they used that didn't
melt the glove while it was setting up and curing?</div>

<div>Last year I was on vacation and went over to look at a bunch of these at
a dive concession. Yours looks impeccable by comparison. You wouldn't believe
the things they'd jury-rigged! My favorite was a kitchen glove penetrator.
They got a rubber kitchen glove, poked cables out the fingers, and filled the
whole thing with resin. They'd also used kitchen gloves fingers to make
"housings" for switches. </div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Scott, thanks! The water temperature was about 72 degrees
and the visibility was 3 to 4 feet. Chautauqua lake is fairly close to us,
unfortunately it is not the best waters for diving. The water is very green
with algae and the seaweed is a constant fight until you get into the deep
water. The lake serves well for testing purposes though.
<div><br></div>
<div>The only modification we made was a new pressure cap for the motor
housing. This submersible's thruster is not pressure compensated but instead
sealed in a 1-atm container. This is of course fine as long as you don't
have any leaking, which unfortunately we did when we first purchased the
sub. We ended up having to completely remove the motor from the housing,
clean and lubricate the motor and replace the relay. Then we had to discover
the leak point. Fortunately it wasn't the shaft seal, only the access cap on
the housing. We modified a new cap from one we purchased at a marine supply
house and haven't experienced any more water intrusion since. I'll tell you
though, after all this mess I am much more in favor of pressure compensating
than trying to seal a 1-atm container. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Hope you are coming along nicely with Trustworthy. I can't wait to see
her in person at the convention! The photos look very nice, but you know
they can never really speak for the real thing. ~ Douglas S.

<div>Awesome Douglas!,</div>
<div>How was the water? Did you have to do any mods to the submersible to
get it working?</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi folks, hope you are all as excited as I am about this
year's convention, I think it is going to be awesome! Before the
convention I wanted to show you my first ambient submersible that I
purchased on ebay back in '04 so I took her out diving over the labor
day weekend on a check dive. The photos are posted in the album "SNARK
II" under my name on the site. I think you'll find the last few photos
of the album to be quite comical as well!
<div><br></div>
<div>I have also posted an album called "K-250 then and now" which
features photos of the old K-boat down in Marathon from 1996 as well as
2013. Interesting what 17 years will do to an exposed sub. ~ Douglas
S. </div></div></div></div>
