Sherwood 7/8" 3500 Manifold $50

Sherwood 7/8" 3500 Manifold I bought this on eBay back in 2012 with the intention of putting my HP 100's w/ 7/8 threads together but instead I purchased identical LP 95's on ebay so this has been sitting around. It definitely needs to be serviced as I have not done it and don't know the history...

Re: Frog Kick Feet Heavy

Re: Frog Kick Feet Heavy

Went diving yesterday...I ran the tanks down to 500...shed some extra weight I had (cuz it's been so long since I've been diving I didn't want to have weighting issues so I wore extra weight) and am perfectly weighted. I tried getting in proper form and staying perfectly still and realized I AM top ...

Re: Frog Kick Feet Heavy

I would suspect you are rearing back from being head heavy in your doubles. Very common issue and often initially perceived as being foot heavy when its really the opposite. Video of you in the water would be a huge diagnostic help. I have a 6 lb tail weight. I'll try to upload one tomorrow and sen...

Re: Frog Kick Feet Heavy

The key is that your knees drop. If it were just that you rotated to a feet-low position with the knees UP, it would be all static weighting. But if your knees drop, that's posture and muscle fatigue. Any time you flex at the hip joint (break the straight line from shoulders to knees) your feet wil...

They are Buna-N but if you switch to EDPM they will last longer. 70 Duro will be fine.

Awesome! Thank you very much... I'll go get the calipers!

Re: Diving Concepts DryGlove O-Rings

Diving concepts is out of business so I doubt that any of the shops would be able to get new stock. You could call around to some of the local dive shops and see if they have some stock on hand. Silent World in Bellevue may be able to scrounge up a few. Or, if you would like I can measure mine and ...

I thought DC went bankrupt??? Have you looked at McMaster Carr? They carry just about any Oring imaginable as well as make your own Oring kits where they supply cord and you glue up the right length to match. They did go bankrupt back in April of 13...I bought one pair on ebay 2 years ago and anoth...

Re: Broken Stain Relief

Manifolds get rebuilt at hydro time for me (every five years) unless they're leaking. When I take the set apart each year to VIP the tanks, I replace the neck o-ring on each tank and the manifold crossbar o-ring. Sweet...hydro is in 2 years so ill just do it then so that it's on the same schedule.
