<div><span>David,</span></div>
<div><span>thanks' your correct, I get after it :-) The hydraulic cylinder on the side of the sub is the swing cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder at the base of the arm in the front is the jettisoning cylinder and it is new. The cylinders in the arm are air cylinders not hydraulic. They work well for this application because they have o-ring seals witch is good if your hyd system is not compensated. </span></div>

<div>Hank, All I can say is Wow!!! You don't mess around. Great job. Is the hydraulic ram on the exterior arm new? What is the manufacture / model your using. I need steering control on my rear thrusters.</div>

<div><span>The arm is swung into a parallel position when under way. There is reference in the operating information to remove the retaining strap.

<div>Impressive looking manipulator! How did you figure out how long each arm should be, size rams, claw construction, what will be the lifting capacity of the arm fully extended? did you make a VBT up forward to keep the sub trimmed while picking up a load? What are the arms made of? any construction pictures of it while you went? </div>

<div>I just posted four new pictures showing my progress of gamma as promised. I was hoping to operate the manipulator today but the hyd pump is not pumping oil. I am hoping the oil is to heavy and cold to get sucked into the pump, that will be an easy fix.</div>
