I was interested in the testing you did on your printed Kort nozzle. From the testing we did on the MK-101 variable pitch prop project, we found a pretty large variation in performance of different props with and without the nozzle for these MD-101 motors. Just because you have a nozzle it does not guarantee better thrust. As example, if you look at test results below, the 4" pitch open water prop that ships with the MK-101, the MKP-33 with out the nozzle generated 82 lbs of bollard thrust but when installed in the nozzle, the thrust drops off to 71 lbs. This is not always the case. Using the 5" after market Kipawa 80/01 prop when tested without the nozzle, the thrust was 80 lbs but with the nozzle it jumped to 90 lbs. To me one of the big issues seems to be the tip shape. To get good performance you have to minimize leakage of pressure from the high pressure side of the blade to the low pressure side around the tip. This is why all props on thrusters with nozzles have tips that are square off rather than rounded with a small gap between the blade and the nozzle. I don't know the prop you were using but my guess is that it was an open water prop with rounded tip. Can you send a picture from the stern showing the prop in your printed nozzle?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492228099375_4097"><br clear="none"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492228099375_4090"><img width="561" height="419" class="img-overlay-selected" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492228099375_4242" alt="Inline image 1" src="cid:ahdUOIWVmHYr98yaBGac" data-id="1e6880e2-4496-558a-98f7-993e86eb8280"></div><div><img width="561" height="418" alt="Inline image 2" src="cid:D5dkHp6JsDNHIWIdPd2i" data-id="2f547bec-d58a-6fca-1ed9-0ac3564a0e9b"></div></div><div class="yiv5626994053gmail_extra"><br clear="none"><div class="yiv5626994053yqt9250992167" id="yiv5626994053yqtfd15356"><div class="yiv5626994053gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 14, 2017 at 7:41 AM, Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br clear="none"><blockquote class="yiv5626994053gmail_quote" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid;"><div dir="ltr">Oh I'm not celebrating yet - the sub hasn't made any dives!

It was great, I could walk around to any edge of the deck without excessive list. The longitudinal trim was slightly down by the stern when empty, and trimmed out to perfectly level when a person was lying in the front half of the boat (stability was calculated for the boat with crew). She floats in water only just over waist deep, 38 inches, and the freeboard is 24 inches. The thrusters and their controls worked beautifully, and the "tank drive" is really, really intuitive. </div><div id="yiv5626994053m_-7070854052861122459m_-3188659661789124660yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492137996124_3294"><br clear="none"></div><div id="yiv5626994053m_-7070854052861122459m_-3188659661789124660yiv7301734892yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492138065311_3456">After launching I drove around on the surface a bit. I didn't get a measurement of speed but would say while slower than a K350 she's decidedly faster than Snoopy. I tested a prototype kort nozzle by mounting it on one of the stern thrusters only and then giving both thrusters equal throttle, to see which way the boat tracked. Surprise, the un-shrouded original prop was more efficient because the boat would turn toward the side with the kort. So I'm just going to put on standard prop guards, at least for now.</div><div id="yiv5626994053m_-7070854052861122459m_-3188659661789124660yiv7301734892yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492138065311_3457"><br clear="none"></div><div id="yiv5626994053m_-7070854052861122459m_-3188659661789124660yiv7301734892yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492138065311_3458">Part of the surface running I did lying down and looking through the bow dome. The view is ridiculously good! From the CT it wasn't bad either, and I was surprised how the flat domes made objects appear closer, something I didn't recall from the flat bow dome in Snoopy. In this one, the leading edge of the deck as seen through the CT viewports seemed only a foot away. The dome is something else entirely, and optically seemed to have the opposite effect of making things appear further away, but maybe that was just in contrast to the CT viewports I'd been looking though moments before.</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div id="yiv5626994053m_-7070854052861122459m_-3188659661789124660yiv7301734892yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492138065311_3459">And so here is the new problem. The raft MBT consists of a collection of aluminum tanks, each of which has SS tubing coming out the top and gathering at a manifold, which is piped to the ball valves on the CT. As some of the tanks are off on the edges of the raft, some of the tubing runs side to side at an angle (up to 90 degrees) to the centerline. When you start flooding MBT, invariably one side will begin to fill slightly faster than the other. The side that is flooding faster will be lower in the water, and the effect of this list on the opposite side is that the tube connecting tanks to their manifold is now sloping downhill instead of up. This blocks the high side from letting out air, which exacerbates the initial list. It's really obvious when you see it, I should have thought of this effect. But luckily the solution is obvious too. There are two ways to fix it; remotely actuated valves right on the tanks, or new manifolds that are high enough to keep all tubing going uphill at reasonable angles of list. My initial impression is that the simpler of the two methods is to modify the plumbing. </div><div id="yiv5626994053m_-7070854052861122459m_-3188659661789124660yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492137996124_3464"><br clear="none"></div><div id="yiv5626994053m_-7070854052861122459m_-3188659661789124660yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492137996124_3461"><br clear="none"></div><div id="yiv5626994053m_-7070854052861122459m_-3188659661789124660yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492137996124_3462">Best,</div><div id="yiv5626994053m_-7070854052861122459m_-3188659661789124660yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492137996124_3463"><br clear="none">Alec</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div><br clear="none"></div><div><br clear="none"></div><div><br clear="none"></div></div><div class="yiv5626994053m_-7070854052861122459m_-3188659661789124660yiv7301734892gmail_extra"><br clear="none"><div class="yiv5626994053m_-7070854052861122459m_-3188659661789124660yiv7301734892gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 13, 2017 at 10:10 PM, james cottrell via Personal_Submersibles <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.o rg</a>></span> wrote:<br clear="none"><blockquote class="yiv5626994053m_-7070854052861122459m_-3188659661789124660yiv7301734892gmail_quote" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;
