<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">All those are certainly concerns for me. Come to think of it I believe it was possibly Phil who mentioned a particular arm that he was impressed with its smooth operation. He also wrote a piece <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">about</font> three years ago on jettisoning the arm.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">I could very well end up with pneumatic; it's a ways down the road yet for me so I don't have to make a decision soon. More education to garner first.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" style="background-color: transparent;"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" style="background-color: transparent;">The arm in the link I posted earlier has an operating depth limit of 300 meters. Here's another one: <a href="http://robotnik.es/en/products/robotic-arms/underwater-electric-arm">http://robotnik.es/en/products/robotic-arms/underwater-electric-arm</a></font></div>
<div><font size="3">One place the website says the operating depth is 6000 meters, however on that same page it specifies 3000 meters. That's pretty much beyond the need of anything I've seen on Psubs, and we would have to find lots of Rick's doubloons to afford it.</font></div>

<div>Most of what I plan to use the arm for is for gathering all the gold
doubloons that fell out of Captain Cooks pockets while he was here in Kealakekua
bay wind surfing, but I would settle for an old bottle or two off his ship if I
had to. I was more wondering if I came across an abandoned small anchor or
something else that weighed around 50 Lb.'s or so if it would up end the boat
much? I would rather not use the forward MBT to keep the trim because of having
to dump air at the proper rate while ascending. Tagging it with a line and
letting the guys in the support boat lift it also sounds good but I would have
to master the manip technique. </div>

<div>Manips are for manipulating, not lifting. Most light arms can do 50-60#.
for lifting you could hook on a (releasable) cables and lift with the MBTs.
Better yet, take a line down to attach and let your surface crew haul away, or
do what we fit at HBOI and in the North Sea. Take a lift bag down rolled into a
PVC tube with a blow and go hose from your air banks. Hook up, back away to
deploy the bag, inflate and run away (to get out from under the load)</div>

<div>I am planning on fabricating my own manipulator for my K-350 that will be
hydraulic and was wondering if anybody that had experience using one on a boat
that size would be able to let me know about how much an arm would be able to
pick fully extended and if a VBT up forward was mandatory to keep the
trim.</div>
<div>I am planning on making the manipulator out of two sections, each about
2’ long giving me a 4’ reach fully extended which will get me out just past my
forward MBT. </div>
<div>I realize that the lifting capacity is based on a number of things like
the rated capacity of the rams and where they are attached to the arms so if
you know that as well that would be great. It’s freezing here on the big

<div style="font-family: helveticaneue,; font-size: 13px;"><span>can you mount
a wedge somewhere so you can push the manipulator grippers up
against</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helveticaneue,; font-size: 13px;"><span>it to wedge
them open? Or have a compression spring temporarily mounted across the
grippers?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helveticaneue,; font-size: 13px;"><span>
You could hang some plastic fish from the garage roof to add a bit of
realism.</span></div>

<div><span>The only problem is, Gamma's manipulator has a power only to close
gripper. The gripper opens with outside water pressure pushing against
it. So I have to jump out of the sub to open the gripper each

just put it in a pail of water" I am still laughing inside of coarse
