[PSUBS-MAILIST] Trustworthy modifications

[swaters]

I have a hummin bird 898. It has side scan sonar up to 180 feet and can see picture like images in black and yellow. It also is linked to the GPS so you can mark your dive sites and know your position. It also works as a depth sounder so you know how many feet under keel. 
Thanks,
Scott Waters

What kind of sonar do you have, what can it do?

Hey all,
 
Here is a update on KW-350 Trustworthy. The first test in the fall went perfectly with the acceptation of being to light. We were able to throw in a lot of old jacks and things to complete the dive. I have made some more lead weights for the emergency drop weights, but probably one of the coolest mod I made was weights added to the landing skids which also makes the sub more stable than it already was. I posted a few pictures on the psubs site under Trustworthy. The total amount of lead weight added was 80lbs and the total steel weight added to the skids was 225 lbs for a total added of 305 more lbs. I will be conducting more testing in a few weeks at a local lake. I will also be bringing a few buckets of lead so I can measure if I need to add so I can trim out perfectly. My testing in a few weeks will consist of
*Ballast trimming
*Sonar testing
*GPS testing
*Underwater comm testing
 
I will keep you all posed on findings. Thanks!,
Scott Waters
