<DIV style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt;"><DIV>Thanks Alec ! I need a hard copy of the ABS rules also Busby ! I have numerous other older books but they are not as specific. </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Also, I just had to get a new oxy cell for my Oxygen analyzer that I bought from Nuytco, I had the analyzer in it's box for about 6 months and the cell went bad. The nifty plastic storage box that they provide for the analyzer has a foam packing, I've been speculating that possibly the foam could have off gassed some weird gas that affected the cell. Since I had kept the analyzer in there for the whole 6 months . It was the first cell that they have had to replace. They said that humidity could affect the cell but we have very low humidity here. The cells normally should last at least a couple of years.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Brian<BR><BR>--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:<BR><BR>From: Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR>Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] penetrator<BR>Date: Sat, 17 Dec 2016 12:17:34 -0500<BR><BR></DIV><DIV dir="ltr">I just checked ABS and the separate penetrator rule only applies to the penetrations for batteries outside the pressure hull. With a motor supplied from inside you would have a way to cut the power.
