What I have is a random size heavy wall short piece of pipe around the prop with a layer of ss to extend the coverage. I removed the ss layer so the prop is open just to see what happens. The motor performance is good-the prop noise just needs to be investigated. The new cartridge seals are a dream.</div><div dir="ltr">I am welding on permanent MBT bottom vent extensions today. When I installed the solenoid vents, I removed my temporary vent extensions thinking I did not need them. Turns out the vent extensions are crucial. I ended up only putting two solenoids on the front of the rear tanks as well as a vent line to take care of that pesky little air trap in front of the vertical thrusters. The whole venting system works like a charm now. I have to say, I sure like the solenoid system-it would work nicely on a K sub also.</div><span class="yiv5853846010HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"></font></span><div dir="ltr">Hank </div><div><div class="yiv5853846010h5"> <div><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div style="display:block;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"> On Tuesday, June 21, 2016 8:49 PM, Alan James via Personal_Submersibles <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></font></div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div><div><div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><div><span>Hank,</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span>Good thinking, looking at the original wires. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span>Were you basing calculations on a marine wire gauge chart?
