Hopefully the boat is ready for the water again !
I bought a sheet of neoprene today, and ripped off that stupid O ring that comes with the kit. I dont know if its something I have been doing wrong, but I have never had a lot of luck or faith in it!
I cut out a rough sheet thats about the same size as the lid, and got the metal lid and marked out the holes for the screws to fit through.
I used a piece of 4mm ( M4 screws used ) brass pipe and a hammer as a punch. I was amazed I managed to measure it first time to be honest. I fitted it on the WTC, put the bolts in and it wasnt rucked up or had any bulges
It was then cut inside, to fit around the spacer on the inside of the lid, and put on the boat. So nervousley I pressurised it and its tight!
It kept its internal pressure for about an hour, and quite a high pressure, so hopefully thats that prob sorted. And a new set of fibre washers on the screws helped as well.
So its back to the lake tommorrow morning. With any luck it wont sink this time!
One thing about subs, they get a lot of attention, so when it goes wrong its hard to get away with it !
