[PSUBS-MAILIST] Dive Report

[Private via Personal_Submersibles]

I have a friend who is a serious expert on ship electronics, and owns a company that designs bridge controls for navy ships. When he was designing Snoopy's electronics he asked whether I wanted heaters in the electrical enclosures, to which my response was... Huh? It turns out they put heaters inside the electrical boxes and leave them on 24x7 to prevent condensation. 

Best,

Alec

I believe it is from moister in the fuse block. I deffenetly have to adapt to making sure everything is sealed and water PROOF not water resistand.
