:D No worries. I'm just the guy that drew the short straw and had to read the full mil spec and write our in-house anodizing reference guide haha! Nice machine work by the way :callme:
That is only part of the difference. Type II must be sealed (contributing to corrosion resistance) whereas Type III is typically not. You can seal Type III to contribute to corrosion resistance at the sacrifice of lower abrasion resistance (the whole point of Type III). Even with full duplex...
Original echo/sierra electronics were likely designed around 24v nominal NiMH pack (i.e. 30V at full charge). A 7s Liion pack is going to be around 29.4 to 30.8v fresh off the charger depending on exact cell and charger. If you don't plug the pack in straight off the charger and wait a little...
Although Type III is potentially more abrasion/ding resistant, Type II is actually generally more corrosion resistant. Would recommend sticking with Type II for scooter application.
How much does it wobble? Is it just a visual annoyance or is it enough to have vibration/shudder in the handle? If the former, it doesn't matter just go dive the thing.
If it really bothers you you can pull the prop assembly off, run a dial indicator on the shaft and identify where the wobble...
If you want max runtime for a single dive or doing multiple dives out of a RIB (or similar) where swapping battery packs is not practical the 12's are where it's at. But just like buying a top of the line CPU or graphics card, there is a serious price premium on the max performance option.

UV is generally not a concern for PVC. There is a reason that most building code has changed from ABS to PVC for drain/sewer pipe in recent years, ABS was cracking due to UV from storage in outdoor yards but PVC does not.
The shroud on all of our scooters are the same, however the combined length of the arm + trigger tube is different between them. Your best bet if you don't want to permanently modify your trigger rod is to try just replacing it with a new one. Or if you're set on a Piranha handle, find a buddy...
Yes, it is officially supported for the Cuda with a new trigger rod available from the factory, just not the Sierra.
If your issue is intermittent actuation of the read switch, it's possible the magnet in the tip of your trigger rod has gotten corroded. Replacing it with a new trigger rod may...
Ding ding ding we have a winner!
Correct, it is a carry handle similar to the one that comes on our longer scooters like Cudas and Sierras. This one is made from the same webbing and cam-buckle as the Piranha and Blacktip main closure straps. It also has a slot sewn into it to allow you to pass...
Wow, that is cleanest looking Sierra I have seen in a LONG time!
It may be possible to do that swap but it is not officially supported. It would definitely require some modifications/finagling. To use the Piranha trigger the trigger rod would need to be a different length and have an M3 hole...
Different motors and different drive trains between the two scooters leads to the difference in efficiency in terms of converting electrical power to thrust.
For sale men's Santi BZ 400 in size Large-Short. Should fit anyone from about 5'7" 160# to 5'10" 190#. This undergarment has less than 20 dives on it (15 at the moment, but I might dive it a couple more times if it doesn't sell before next weekend). I love it, it is the warmest undergarment I...
