James,
Also I use a reversing relay from electric winches.  They work fabulous and are real compact.

 hmmm,
 interesting.  Mine are lockable already, I just haven't
 got the motor controls on the handles.  But I could
 probably use them like you describe already.  Maybe I
 should try it before I change things.  I was intending to
 remove the PWM controllers and just have relays, with a
 simple on\off button on each handle.  I think snoopy
 had that to start with?  I'd have the speed control on
 the rear thruster of course.

 I've found it a 100% improvement to make those
 side handles lockable. You just lock them vertical when
 diving and use them purely for regulating depth, while
 driving around on the stern thruster exclusively. It frees
 up your hands.

 I didn't realise I was quite so close to the
 bottom.  With the slight distortion from the bow dome, I
 thought I was further off.  And, maybe I should be using
 the side thrusters but I find them awkward to use due to the
 controls not being on the handles.  Im going to change
 that, probably this weekend.

 Ah, great stuff! I love that bow window and the
 sub overall is very very good looking and neat as can be
 inside. It was interesting how the exterior shots picked up
 the sound of your stern thruster whacking its way through
 stuff. You can really see how easily the stern props get
 tangled up in weeds, and even though you have what's
 probably the best faired K350 these boats tend to drag the
 stern thruster along the bottom. I thoroughly enjoyed this
 video, thanks for sharing.
 Best,
 Alec

 Hi All 

 http://youtu.be/r_uNja9YawI

  Here is a little video of a
 dive day I did last week.  Its a series of dives stitched
 into one, so the continuity isn't quite truthful, but
 you get the idea. Only issue I had
 was on one dive when i'd left the snorkel valve open.
 The poppet valve snapped shut but I still got a face full of
 water.  More of an insult than a
 problem. Kind
 RegardsJames
