Alan, on Gamma, there are two shafts that rotate from inside.  The shafts are threaded into the tail section so it can drop off.  Alec's thruster seems to work the same way.  In my case the rods not only seal through the hull, but also through the ballast tank.

Alan,
on another note, I found a nice clear tube for pressure compensating quite by accident.  My wife buys garden hoses that are clear and go flat when there is no pressure.  I had to repair one and I nicked a 2 foot chunk.  My p trap was not successful on my drive.  I am not sure if it was the seal or the p trap.  I changed the seal to a high pressure seal and put this clear hose on for compensating.  Going for a dive on Wednesday and will try it out.  I am sure liking Alec's bellows.

 I
 think I understand it now.The
 2 bolts are the electrical through hulls & you wind
 thecentral
 nut to push the unit off. The electrics would unplug in the
 process.Alan

 Alec,
 Nice project, I like the
 trawl floats in the back, it is so different!  The first
 thing that comes to mind when I see your new build is,
 Manatee.
 You sure have put in a lot of time
 on this.  I like the jettisoning system, it is the same
 idea as Gamma's tail, very simple and clean.  The
 bellows are very nice!
 Nice video, you have
 good control of the sub.
 Hank

  Hey everyone, I'm
  breaking cover with the project sub. It is in
 need of a
  name. If the pictures inspire any
 thoughts that are not
  rude, I'm all
 ears for suggested names!

  Best,
