How about modifying a set of Bennet trim tabs? Hi Martin. As I mentioned before, Minnkota and Lenco have trim tab systems
with position indicating LED's that can be used for our submarines. Some extra
sealing or maybe oil compensation would be required to go deep but the whole
system is there. The problem is the cost and number of wires used.
A hydraulic system is reliable but the cost and complexity is an issue.
We're trying to make a position sensor that's both cheap and simple.
Remember the KISS rule. Reliability is the main objective.
