[PSUBS-MAILIST] Steinke hood

Wed Apr 23 18:14:26 EDT 2014

Thanks, Carsten,
Considering your formula based on the age and projected life  span of the 
owner/pilot, I'll provide in my will for who should inherit my  Steinke hood. 
 Hopefully it will still be in unused condition.

Difficult to say. On the unit I have some of the tempoary glues to  fix for 
example zippers covers gives way. 
The neck skirt was extremly hard  and the water signal maker tends to leak. 
They are pretty old. From the 90ies  or so. 

But on a price of 15 USD - means less than 1% of the  original price I 
would suggest the following formular: 

Unit to  use x 2, plus one training unit,  puls 1 for destroy test, plus a  
additional amout for later sale for Psubs friends. 

For a 3 person  sub this means 3 x 2 +1 + 1 + 2 = 10 units = 150 USD. 
Or in case of real  use 50 USD per life. 
say remainig life after successfull emergency exist  is 40 years this means 
: 50 /40 = 1.25 USD per year of life. 
But it  depents stroong on how old are you and how often you have to 
emergency exit  your sub.. 

Statistic is nice.. isn't it ? 

Even if the units  have problems: Bring them to a cpompany built rubber 
boats or duiver suits.  Strip them an rebuild them. 
Will be much cheaper than to purchase new  ones.

By the way I order one forward. test them, calculate the fixing  cost and 
order than 9 more. 

If you can choose ask the guy if he can  look for the samp outside of the 
bag and select younger building  years...

Carsten,
I've wondered how long a Steinke hood is good in storage.  Do any  of the 
components deteriorate over time and require replacement?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Scott - Check them. 

If the neckshirt is to  hard to get it over: 
Bring it to a divesuit shop and let them make and  glue new skirt from 
neopren.   

If they have a  capsule with water paint maker - remove this. 
The capsule tend to leak  or break if old and can be nicly couloring your 
interior. 

One unit  can be marked on the outside bag as training unit. 

I did it with  my 10 units that way.

Does anyone know where to get / or how to make a Steinke hood? I  thought I 
saw Cliff had one for the R-300. That would be a really nice  safety 
addition to my sub.
Thanks,
Scott  Waters
