You put the quick disconnects out near the arm release<br> point and whatever disconnects it, also disconnects the<br> hydraulics. Personally, I'd rather have extra viewports<br> on either side of the big window. I do know that you have to<br> avoid compromising the knuckle where the head transitions<br> from cylinder to ellipse. <br> Vance<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> -----Original Message-----<br> <br> From: swaters@waters-ks.com<br> via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br> <br> To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br> <br> Sent: Fri, Jan 16, 2015 9:33 am<br> <br> Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Removable tru hulls<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Vance,<br> <br> They are 7", but I wanted to put them somewhat<br> close to my main veiwport which has a fairly big tru hull of<br> I believe 20" ( I would have to measure to confirm).<br> The reasoning for this is I am making the control with sub<br> cons so if I disconnect the arm and pull straight back, the<br> plugs will disconnect.
