Been taking care of a lot of details. I wanted to have a vacuum line that I could hook up to my portable compressor and I wasn't sure if the flexible hose would collapse or not, but it doesn't seem to be an issue. Also had a couple of issues with my motor pod. I had a unnecessary concentric pipe arrangement that was not sealing properly and realized I can just weld it. This first motor pod, being the first prototype I had some extra fudge factor elements involved to help me get things aligned properly. Now I have a better handle on what I need to do for the fabrication process. Also had to locate another big truck to tow me down there to the harbor. And I decided to make extra bars of lead, in case I'm not heavy enough. </div><div> </div><div>Brian</div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
