<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Mark,</div><div><br>Its this one. <a href="http://www.pfluegerfishing.com/pflueger-reels-fly-reels/pflueger-automatic-fly-reel/1280270.html">http://www.pfluegerfishing.com/pflueger-reels-fly-reels/pflueger-automatic-fly-reel/1280270.html</a></div><div> </div><div>You wind up the return spring with the black wheel that's almost the same diameter as the body. The lever thing is the trigger that starts it winding in. Also you can release the spring with the centre metal wheel. The trigger will need locking in place to auto return.</div><div> </div><div>It seems to work ok (in the garden) but unsure of its use in water. Also I don't think it will last long in the sea even though its sort of stainless. Probably be ok in fresh water.</div><div> </div><div>I think the best thing would be to just have a reel of some sort and a through hull handle to wind it in. But that's the problem for me, no through hulls available.</div><div><br>Regards</div><div>James</div><div> </div><div> </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 11 October 2016 at 12:28, Mark via Personal_Submersibles <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>Hi James,</div><div><br></div><div>Nice lathe, I own the same one.

Im not very familiar with them. But I have bought this fishing reel thing that I think will be ok. It takes about 40 meters of line and auto winds. plus its small.

A simple air motor with a constant air feed could work. The motor and spool would have to be at the surface on or under the buoy. I am not sure how tight an air motor is, but if the motor could hold back low air pressure, it could work. The motor would be direct drive to the spool, in fact the air motor could be the spindle for the spool. If a constant low air pressure is fed to the motor, the line could be pulled out against that pressure. The pressure it build up( acting as a pump) would vent out the regulator. The sub could pull the line down and when the sub surfaces, the air motor would wind in the line. I doubt a vane motor would work unless the vanes are spring loaded. A diaphragm based motor would be ideal.</div><span><font color="#888888"><div>Hank </div></font></span></div></div><br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
