Vertical Thruster Mount

The vertical thruster mount is now completed. This mount holds the downward pointed thruster in position which will allow the ROV to dive and surface. The thruster mount consists of 6 different PVC components, which are all cemented together. Apart from securely holding the motor and directing water flow, this mount serves to stabilize the main fuselage against the base - ensuring it remains both centred and level.
The stages of assembly can be viewed here.
