[PSUBS-MAILIST] Video

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

Yes, Snoopy was just on-off switches to begin with. Now she's got speed
controllers and that is way better. However, I wish I had retained the
on-off switches as a speed controller bypass, so I could still use the
thrusters if the speed controllers fail. The new sub will feature that,
just as backup.

hmmm, interesting.  Mine are lockable already, I just haven't got the motor
controls on the handles.  But I could probably use them like you describe
already.  Maybe I should try it before I change things.  I was intending to
remove the PWM controllers and just have relays, with a simple on\off
button on each handle.  I think snoopy had that to start with?  I'd have
the speed control on the rear thruster of course.
