[PSUBS-MAILIST] Electrical thru-hull

[Cliff Redus via Personal_Submersibles]

Jon, I know this is a DIY group and we like to do it our selves AMAP  to
cut cost but for me, there areas like when we put holes in the boat that is
makes sense to buy it off the shelf.  Thanks to you, we have a wonderful
10% discount with Subconn products through MacArtney.  The guy I have dealt
with for the last several years is Jacobo Aguilar (jag at macartney.com) is
great.  What I do is work up an excel spreadsheet of the parts I need and
send it to him and request the psubs discount and he handles it with no
problems.  I realize that most folks first reaction is that subsea
penetrators... expensive.  But I have found the Subconn parts that  I have
purchased to be reasonable.  As an example, I am working with a group of ME
students on a project to develop a new variable pitch propeller for my boat
and  a test rig measure the bollard thrust.  They needed a Subonn 50A
inline subsea connector to made with my existing thruster bulkhead fitting
I use.  The cost for the part (Subconn ILB2F) was $66.35 plus $9.72 for the
DLSB locking sleeve.   MacArtney's web site has the best documentation for
the Subconn products.

To me there enough DIY required on all the other 10,000  things you have to
do to build a boat so for making holes in the hull for electrical
penetrations, I vote for Off-The-.Shelf.
