Retro- Retrofit Seafox

[Ian MacKenzie]

Almost done. Still need to finish the left joystick modification, add power input/output connectors and then wire it all up. Plus i'm going to paint those ugly-ass hinges.

Looks great, this is the route i was going to take for my first build minus the arm. what depths are you hoping to see

[Ian MacKenzie]

30 meters. Although i'll probably be using it in much shallower waters, like off docks and wharfs, where people drop stuff. I'm hoping for a nice collection of car keys, sun glasses and dead cell phones.

how deep do you think the seafox is truely capable of? i like to dive wrecks and have done most of the shallow ones here in south florida, the ones shallower than 130ft, but the stuff past that i want to see but dont want to get tech dive certified is my reasoning to get into this and try it. im looking for around 200ft-250 feet and im in the research phase to see what i need to do

[Ian MacKenzie]

It depends on your components. The Rule bilge pumps/thrusters might start slowing down at that depth. Too much preasure pressing the shaft seal against the shaft. Check out other peoples thrusters and camera housings. There's everything from basic to professional.

Finally got the manipulator mounted.

That arm looks amazing... that's some next level stuff right there. Again I can't wait to see how this performs in the water... I might need a retrofit of my retrofit.

Keep up the great work.

Camera's done.

The Vmate DVR will mount in the controller to record all my subsea adventures.
And I'm thinking the dead resistor will make a cool pair of LED housings after I hollow it out and cut it in half.
