<DIV><FONT size=3>James,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Before you weld towing eyes on the front of your battery pods,
you might try making some circular clamps to go around the front of each pod and
attach towing eyes to those. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>That way you could test the concept first and possibly refine
it.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Thanks Vance, </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I did think of maybe towing from the battery pods. Maybe i'll
weld on a couple of towing eyes. Something else I should have
thought of before..... </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>will check out options later. </DIV>

<DIV>That's what I was thinking. However, there is a video of
someone towing Bionic Guppy and they are pulling it from the lifting
eye. Different boat though. </DIV>

<DIV>Hi All, </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Has anyone towed a K boat from the forward lifting eye?
<BR clear=none><BR clear=none>I am going to tow my boat to a better
diving location. I think the best place to tow it would be the
very front, on the hand rail mounting post. At this point
there is a 20mm stainless bar bolted through the forward tank and
into the framework. Although its a thick bar, I have a feeling
it might get damaged if I tow the boat from that point.
Forward lifting eye would be better but ive got a feeling it might
now tow very well. </DIV>
<DIV><BR clear=none>Any thoughts? <BR clear=none>Thanks </DIV>
<DIV>James </DIV>
