 Yesterday
 I tested a couple of things, first was my dual prop on the
 vertical thruster.  The thruster work great, well great in
 the sense that it pushed the same in both directions.  I
 will be adding a second thruster with dual props on the
 other side of the sub.  The next test was a new
 compensation set up for the thruster.  I took a propane
 regulator and removed the diaphragm and replaced it with a
 piece of rubber from an inner tube.  I threaded in a nice
 ss fitting for the oil line to the motor and drilled a vent
 hole for water to enter.  The conversion took about 15 min
 and worked excellent.
 
 My LED took on a tiny bit of water but I think I just found
 the cause.  The oil is escaping through the wires. I have
 fixed that now.
 
 Hank
