[PSUBS-MAILIST] K-600 new motor mounts

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

Alan,
I like those ideas.  I do have two additional 101's that I was going to mount mid-ship at 45-degree angles to provide upward/downward thrust however upon reconsideration I think I'm going to just rely on buoyancy for that purpose and keep these additional motors as spares.

 Jon,karl Stanley has 4 thrusters at the back of Idabel.If you left room for another thruster you have an option in the future thatwould add redundancy & give you more power.I had wondered whether in the event of a thruster failure, if the turning circle in reverse was tighter than forward, & you could go between forward& reverse & eventually make it back. Another thought was to use a plankthat may be part of the sub flooring etc, & leaver it between something at theback of the sub as a jerry rudder! Possibly weld two struts at the back togive you this option!Alan
