[PSUBS-MAILIST] amp draw

Sure can James, but I am sure Alan will chime in-he is up on the salt water issues.  Maybe Hugh knows of a salt water capable valve.  I am so luck to be in fresh water ;-)Hank

 hmm, sounds interesting.  Can you send me a link?  They would have to be ok in salt water though.  But could test them or maybe modify?

James,Nice boat, I like the tender on back.   The cabin is a very nice feature.  The solenoid system is simply air\water solenoid vents.  They amount directly to the MBT so there is no chance of an air trap in a line.  As Alan pointed out, there may be an issue with salt water.  I am sure there is a creative way to overcome that though.  You just screw them on and run  a couple of wires, it is that easy.Hank

 Hank, can you elaborate on the solenoid system?  Sounds interesting. Check out my new boat to be used as submarine tender.  Im fed up with begging other people to help on dive days.   Whilst its not the biggest boat for subbing, its convenient and also good for the odd day trip and fishing etc as well....

Alan,I am not calling the guards Kort nozzles because a Kort nozzle is a precision made part intended to boost performance.  What I have is a random size heavy wall short piece of pipe around the prop with a layer of ss to extend the coverage.  I removed the ss layer so the prop is open just to see what happens.  The motor performance is good-the prop noise just needs to be investigated.  The new cartridge seals are a dream.I am welding on permanent MBT bottom vent extensions today.  When I installed the solenoid vents, I removed my temporary vent extensions thinking I did not need them.  Turns out the vent extensions are crucial.  I ended up only putting two solenoids on the front of the rear tanks as well as a vent line to take care of that pesky little  air trap in front of the vertical thrusters.  The whole venting system works like a charm now.  I have to say, I sure like the solenoid system-it would work nicely on a K sub also.Hank

 Hank,Good thinking, looking at the original wires. Were you basing calculations on a marine wire gauge chart? They are a lot more liberal.I believe the kort nozzles put more load on your motor, in case that has anything to dowith performance.Alan

Hi Alan,I rearranged my electrical system to 48 volts and my motors are now running in the sweet spot for amperage 12.5 each.  That was my target- I am basing the required amp draw by the original wire size in the motor penetrator.Hank
