Buoyancy and Trim
The PMW-200 housing utilizes trim weights on the bottom of the housing for adjusting
buoyancy and trim to your liking. Please consult the table below for guidelines on how
to trim your system based on your configuration.
The weights can be removed for buoyancy adjustment or moved forward/aft for trim.
They can also be placed on the top accessory rails for further adjustment. To do so
simply loosen the thumbscrew and change the position of the weight to the most
suitable location. Be sure to tighten the trim weight snugly so it will remain secure to
the housing during use.
When adding lights, monitor or other accessory items the buoyancy / trim will change.
This requires removal and re-positioning of weights to keep system neutrally buoyant
and balanced.
