Also the tray is 60 lbs and is only pulling the rope down and unspooling the rope. I think there is little chance the tray will tip from waves. I will bring spare weights just in case. You have proven me wrong before! The problem with an anchor winch is it is hard to estimate pulling force and the rope could break or the HP valve could activate sending the sub up fast and possibly hitting the boat. The weight is from drag, not actual weight, when I am pulling it up it will coast if I stop and it is heavy to get it moving initially.</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461194547849_2963"><span>Hank</span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial"> On Wednesday, April 20, 2016 4:52 PM, Alan James via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv7889615392"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div id="yiv7889615392yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461192009080_3132"><span>Thanks Hank,</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv7889615392yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461192009080_3130"><span id="yiv7889615392yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461192009080_3133">beautiful lake.

It took me 1\2 hr to go about 1.5 -2 miles. The launching of both boat and sub is also good except I need to make a small change to the front roller the boat sits on, it is to high. The only tough part is installing the 30 hp motor while the boat is in the water. I have to take it slow and it is kinda heavy. I have to install and remove the mother each time I launch and retrieve.</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv7889615392yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461189137873_3415">I am going to rig up a slide so that when I pull on the rope to retrieve the sub, a tray will tip out the weights that make it sink. Then the rope will pull on the valve mechanism in case the sub has taken on water weight. It is pretty hard on the hands pulling it up with such a small line, even with heavy welding gloves on. This way it will come up on its own.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv7889615392yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461189137873_3415">Hank</div><div class="yiv7889615392qtdSeparateBR" id="yiv7889615392yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461189137873_3513"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div> <div class="yiv7889615392yahoo_quoted" id="yiv7889615392yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461189137873_3518" style="display:block;"> <div id="yiv7889615392yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461189137873_3517" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"> <div id="yiv7889615392yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461189137873_3516" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div dir="ltr" id="yiv7889615392yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461189137873_3515"><font id="yiv7889615392yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461189137873_3514" face="Arial" size="2"> On Wednesday, April 20, 2016 3:52 PM, xxx xxxxx <mp13@live.ca> wrote:<br clear="none"></font></div> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div class="yiv7889615392y_msg_container" id="yiv7889615392yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461189137873_3520"><div id="yiv7889615392">
