accusink question

[sharkbait]

Does anyone know what the correct amount of weight of sand or pea gravel was used in the original setup of a accusink submarine or have the original directions on a accusink system. I remember filling the sand into plastic bags inside the submarines on a scale to a certain amount of weight 17 years ago but can not remember the correct weight of the subs and sand. Mine need some fine tuning as some of my buoys ( correct size ) sit too high ( loss of sand ) I believe. Thanks

40 lbs. I always bring the buoys to the surface then deflate line pressure to 10 psi. This lets the buoys sit lower in the water.

thager- thanks for the info. We use a regulator after the air compressor to keep the psi at 10-11 lbs max. We wait the extra few minutes for the course to rise instead of jumping the pressure up to get the course up faster. I spent to many hours years ago bleeding water out of the air lines and subs after blowing a line off and not catching it that day. Thanks again

@thager drop me an email and I'll help out the best I can. Great system, really have to follow the directions exactly. No deviations and no "engineering experiments". Been there and done that as well have seen many others mess it up royally.

@BuoyChaser I think you meant that for @sharkbait but thanks for thinking of me!
