[PSUBS-MAILIST] no more leaks

I used 24 inches of 5/8 clear flat garden hose.  The hose wants to be flat, so it compresses right away.

 What

 did not leak a drop of oil from the drive, my new seal and
 new compensating hose did the trick.  The light bar on the
 other hand has some water.  This time the light bar was
 just sealed full of oil.  I think I am not getting all the
 air out, I will try a piece of clear garden hose next.

 have squeezed the gasket and let some tension off the
 retaining straps.  This made a scary sound.  I am doing
 another dive tomorrow, then I am off to do a proper deep
 test.  I am pushing my luck maybe. I am only diving 100
 feet and like Vance says, a shoe box can be sealed to 100
 feet :-)
