What I have is a random size heavy wall short piece of pipe around the prop with a layer of ss to extend the coverage. I removed the ss layer so the prop is open just to see what happens. The motor performance is good-the prop noise just needs to be investigated. The new cartridge seals are a dream.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466593390590_6051">I am welding on permanent MBT bottom vent extensions today. When I installed the solenoid vents, I removed my temporary vent extensions thinking I did not need them. Turns out the vent extensions are crucial. I ended up only putting two solenoids on the front of the rear tanks as well as a vent line to take care of that pesky little air trap in front of the vertical thrusters. The whole venting system works like a charm now. I have to say, I sure like the solenoid system-it would work nicely on a K sub also.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466593390590_6051">Hank </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 Tuesday, June 21, 2016 8:49 PM, Alan James via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv0011685963"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div id="yiv0011685963yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466555069434_4875"><span id="yiv0011685963yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466555069434_4896">Hank,</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv0011685963yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466555069434_4873"><span id="yiv0011685963yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466555069434_4872">Good thinking, looking at the original wires. </span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv0011685963yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466555069434_4903"><span id="yiv0011685963yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466555069434_4902">Were you basing calculations on a marine wire gauge chart?
