<div dir="ltr"><div>That's really helpful Alan thanks. I've put this in my saved docs folder. Im still going to use oil for now but then when it gets to winter I might change it. I think I can eek out a tiny bit more power with an air compensated motor, plus I find it quite a hastle filling and emptying the aft motor as its really awkward to get at.</div><div> </div><div>Anyway, thanks again.<br>James</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 22 September 2015 at 20:43, Alan James via Personal_Submersibles <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><div><span>James,</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span>have attached a diagram of it, in case it helps.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span>Alan</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><br> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px"> <div dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> <font face="Arial" size="2"><span> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">From:</span></b> James Frankland via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>><br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">To:</span></b> Personal Submersibles General Discussion <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> <br> </span><span><b><span style="font-weight:bold">Sent:</span></b> Wednesday, September 23, 2015 2:53 AM<br> </span><b><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject:</span></b> Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Sub hot water bottle.<br> </font> </div><div><div class="h5"> <div><br><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Alan,</div><div>I was just looking at that regulator.
