<div>Brian:</div><div><br></div><div>Instead of an inflatable, I was thinking of making a pontoon boat that could be broken down and carried in the back of a pickup (2 pontoons per side to make a 15 - 16 ft long boat) and use it as a surface support craft, Generator, communication system, outboards. Possibly have it where the pontoons straddle the submersible and can push it on the surface. </div><div><br></div><div>Thoughts? </div><div><br></div><div>Jeff White </div><div><br></div>

<div>Brian,</div><div>That was my plan at one time also, I was going to use alternators with internal regulators. It should work, but I am not sure how long the alternators will last if they are not sized correctly.</div><div>Hank</div><div><br clear="none"></div>

<div><div><div style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><div>Hi All,</div><div> Does anyone know what's involved in linking a 48 volt dc generator to ones 48 Volt drive system? Is it as simple as connecting to the batteries? If the generator senses a voltage draw then it engages, this is how most generators are set up . Seems like there's got to be some sort of protection for the batteries so they don't see too much voltage. I was thinking of having a 48 V dc generator in an inflatable secured to my deck and feeding my motors for surface transit. Then once at the dive site leave the inflatable floating at the dive site. </div><div> </div><div>Brian</div><div> </div><div> </div></div>
