Re: Counter weight system for boat.

you might want to use pulleys instead of eye hooks to reduce friction.

Re: Counter weight system for boat.

--Its for getting a diver fast up from the deapth, in case of blackouts or other problems,during constant weight diving.

--Yes I noticed, we used it for the first time yester day, and with the weight of the counter,it became to much of a strain on the corner rings, and made the system really slow..

--But all in all, the line system,and the ability to hang from it during breath ups is really nice, we had a blast.. Ill post some more pictures of it in use,when i have the time.

Re: Counter weight system for boat.

I think that you have to take care with the distance between both ropes, a little current would stock everything and could be worst than nothing, but keep us informed on how it works, looks like an easy and cheap way to do it.
