EQUIPMENT LOCATION
This was my original idea of how to transport and layout all the parts of this project. It is not just the
ROV, as you can see.
An old picnic cooler does a nice job to hold the tether reel, the battery and all interconnections plugs.
The rov
fits neatly on top of it and with the added wheels and a removable handle it's a one man job to lug it to the shore or boat.
The
main controls, recorder, monitor and control cables are all built or attached together and can seat on a jig on top of the
cooler. Once the rov is in the water, I can easily sit on the cooler, attach the control cables, place on the jig at the other end
of the top of the cooler and I am ready for the adventure !
Just llike all the other drawings, these are only sketches and do
not represent the actual size of the equipment.

Dual receptacle for ROV and control console
below, is the 5v for recorder and to the left separated
12v for monitor
And this is my latest version for comfort transportation.
Now I am using a separate collapsible handtruck, the original 'built-in'
ended up to be too awkward to use.
