Housing Stabilizer	Can't Post

I have a VX 2000 in a Gates housing with Monitor, 4 HID Lights,& the big momma lens from Fathom . I was having alot of issues keeping it steady in the water. I came up with using a hydrofoil stabilizer designed for an outboard motor. These are fairly inexpensive (under $50.00) and fits very well between the housing and battery bracket from Gates. It is all plastic and a couple of pounds positive. You can find them at any boating store.It helped me alot.

Sounds very interesting. Any way you can send me a pic of your setup. What kind of lights are you using, a bank of 4 would provide a fine spread.

Sure, Give me until the weekend to get it together and take some photos. I am using a set of Nightrider HIDs and a set of Light Canons.
