<div><span>Funny you mention the inner tube.  I did just that as an experiment on my red sphere sub.  I even painted the inner tube white so it would blend in better.  </span></div>
<div><span>I took a big leap of faith this morning, I just finished machining the prop shaft bushing housing.  The housing has a bearing and seals now.  I drilled in two ports (1/8 pipe) to fill and drain the oil.  I like it much better and I have to drain the oil regularly in the second shaft housing anyways.  </span></div>

<div><span>I also decided to buy a new motor instead of using the original.  I am driving to the USA tomorrow to pick it up.  That was my Christmas present. :-)    I am very easy to shop for

I think the first sentence is key, "Submersibles
will be assigned Class only after it has been demonstrated that their buoyancy
and their static and dynamic stability in in tact condition is adequate FOR THE
SERVICE INTENDED".  Some of the lack of specificity is because they can't
conceive of every possible application.  They do however have quite a few
specifics as you outlined.  Some of the testing won't apply (ie fuel load)
and it's possible that a narrow scope of service might lower number of tests
required.<br clear="none">
