Default RE: RC Shark

The exact same case happened to me with my Kilo project, to make the ballast tank, if that's what you want to know, you have to include some sort of a pump, I used a fan style pump in mine, the fan which circulates water, is operated by a motor through a gear link and you'll also need a cutoff valve so that when you're not operating the pump, water doesn't go into the ballast tank. Some very good ballast tanks can be bought from OTW designs, a company located in the UK,

remember: the motor has to be able to go both ways! In one direction and the other!
