- 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, etc. 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, convienently
inserted in a velco palm strap, activates the switch.
- Motor
Sealed mercury marine/motorguide aluminum housing
trolling motor.
- Construction
The housing is Gel coated bi-axial fiberglass,or impact
ABS. The top is impact ABS. The handles and shroud are
powder coated aluminum. All hardware is stainless steel and
the ring is polycarbonate.
- Low Cost Battery
32 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.
- Twin Torpedo
By connecting two Torpedo DPVs you will create the
fastest DPV on the market for the price, with twin motor
safety and two speeds.
