<div>Alan,</div><div>Your idea to be able to pump leaked water out through the hull is pretty interesting. Where did you find a 36v dc pump? Maybe I am overthinking the idea.</div><div>Hank</div><div><br></div>

<div>Alan,</div><div>That will be a pretty slow pump, good for deballasting but not so good if you have a leak at the surface and want to save the sub. So your new sub is going to have sealed ballast tanks? interesting. Hmmmm that makes it a DSV ;-)</div><div>Hank</div><div><br clear="none"></div>
