after swimming for a while we stopped to take a break & check everything over before going back into the water again

compressor

compressor mounted on the end of the top crank, runs well and no longer rattles like a tin of rocks, that distinctive clanking is OK when you know what it is (slack in the drive shaft) but almost embarrassing as it must sound like a serious problem to anyone not knowing.
bottom right is the power steering pump mounted to one side of the generator drive housing but that has now been moved to the side of the hull with a belt drive fabricated as it was running way too fast.
