Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Good source for ready made sub thrusters

In the process of looking for a source of sub
thrusters I have come across a company called
farallonusa (www.farallonusa.com) that, among other
things, produces DPV's for SCUBA use.  The nifty thing
about these is that the standard units are
rated/guarranteed to a depth of 400 feet, without
needing any modifications/reinforcements to their 'out
of the box' design.

After talking with them I found out that they also
commonly produce the same units for use as submersible
thrusters by simply removing the pistol grip
controllers and feeding the control wires out of the
unit for the sub builder to incorporate into their
control systems as they see fit.

I am still several months away from my boat's
construction, but I thought some of y'all (who are
further along) may be able to use this info sooner.
If you do use it, please let him know that you are
associated with PSUBS so that they continue with this
"customized" product line.

Copy of my last email from www.farallonusa.com:

Thank you for your interest in our product.  Farallon
has been building under water propulsion vehicles for
commercial and military applications for over 35
years.  We currently have the only commercially
available DPV approved for US Navy use.

Your request seems to be an easy one to fulfill.  We
already have other DPV's that use external power
sources and control signals so feeding the wires out
of the aft section of the Arrrow scooter would not be
hard.

If your interested, please let me know and I can
prepare a quote (I will need to know how many you
would like).
