color=#000000>I had a failure of a day on Sat. I put the
boat in, and it had a leak. Not into the pressure hull, so it
wasn’t a complete failure, but the leak was from the forward main tank.
The nearly useless windows that I put on the forward tank were leaking
air. Not just a little bit which I could have put up with it, but
loads. The boat was diving quicker than venting normally.

think the problem is that on Friday while I was prepping the boat for diving,
I went around and tightened the bolts. It must have broken the
