Each will have a dedicated minn Kota motor controller. 0-5vdc analog output signal to each motor controller will come through PLC analog output module. A analog input module of the PLC will accept signals from a 3-axis joystick and a foot control. <br><br>Sent from my iPad</div><div><br>On Oct 27, 2014, at 4:46 AM, via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<div><font size="3">Since you are replacing the jet drive with a pair of fixed
101's, what are you doing to achieve low/high speed maneuverability? Did I
misunderstand about your main thrusters being fixed? Are you incorporating
rudders, dive planes, additional maneuvering motors?</font></div>
