<DIV>Thanks for the info Alec. My motors are 36V and run off a different bank
than everything else. The wires to the transponder were cut and fed through a
subconn. I will see if I can isolate the problem before West Virgina. </DIV>
<DIV>Do you have a waiver that people sign to take rides in your sub? I need to
make up something before I go. </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>

<DIV>Hi Scott,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Concerning the sonar, I'd suggest looking at two possibilities. The first
is a separate battery for the sonar, because if it goes off the same battery as
everything else you may have a case of electrical noise - in particular if you
have PWM speed controllers as those I think can be noisy. Second, look at
whether the through-hull for the transducer could be picking up noise. Did you
connect the cable shield (mesh) through one of the pins? That would be
good.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For the lights, it sounds like it might be time to get a big tube of RTV do
a temporary seal from the outside, then a proper fix after Summersville. </DIV>

<DIV>Best,</DIV>

<DIV>Hey guys,</DIV>
<DIV>We took Trustworthy out for another test yesterday. This time the goals
were:</DIV>
<DIV>*Deeper diving</DIV>
<DIV>*GPS/Sonar testing</DIV>
<DIV>*endurance of motor testing</DIV>
<DIV>*life support testing</DIV>
<DIV>*lights not leaking try two</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We made three longer dives with a max of 43 feet and had a great time
except viability was zero. The GPS worked flawlessly! The sonar is still
having problems. I will continue to figure out the problem. Hopefully have it
fixed by the West Virginia trip. I traked my max speed with the GPS at 3.2mph.
After motoring for a solid mile I switched battery banks and my main motor cut
out. Not sure the problem yet, but another thing to fix. Life support worked
flawlessly! I originally thought I wanted to redo my life support system to a
computer, but my simple design works way better than expeceted. I ran with
only one scrubber and it had no problem keeping up with 2 people. I have
decided to keep my system the way it is. As for my light housing leaking,
yea... I am going to just make new hosuings after the West Virgina trip. All
and all very sucsessful. These tests are important to work out the
kinks.</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
