The Main Seal
The battery compartment is fitted with an O-ring seal for optimum protection against leakage. This proven method of sealing is easy to maintain.
Buoyancy
In normal use, the Torpedo DPV is negative when underwater. This allows a diver to set the unit down on the bottom to make equipment adjustments, facilitate exploration, explore a wreck or reef or pause to take pictures. For the snorkeler who wants the unit to be more buoyant, floatation accessories are available.
Handle Design
The handles are designed for optimum function. Their location along the centerline of thrust and buoyancy provides minimal operation effort and arm fatigue while in use. This design also allows the user to carry the Torpedo DPV with ease while out of the water. The common 7/8 inch handle diameter allows for numerous accessory attachments to better adapt this unit to the individual’s needs.
Storage
The Torpedo DPV can be positioned upright for ease in opening and closing the unit to access the battery, as well as minimizing floor space during storage.
Switch
A magnetically activated reed switch, is designed for both safety and dependability. A magnet, conveniently inserted in a velco palm strap, activates the switch.
Motor
Sealed mercury marine/motor guide aluminum housing trolling motor.
Construction
The housing and shroud are made of durable injection molded plastic. The handles are powder coated aluminum and all hardware is stainless steel.
Low Cost Battery
35 AH absorbed electrolyte sealed lead acid battery. DIMENSIONS: Width 5 1/8″, Height 6″, Length 7 5/8″, and Weight 26 lbs.
Charger
Fully automatic 6 amp. output recharges a fully discharged battery in 3 to 4 hours. Input: 120 VAC 60 HZ.
Hydrodynamics
The computer aided design of the Torpedo DPV enables the free flow of water through the shrouded propeller to maximize efficiency of the motor thrust.
