I'm a Fish!
I am going to have the yoke removed from my viking HD and need a new attatched hood. I am probably going to go with the surveyor but am curious if anyone tried the turbo or the magnum hood and what they think of them.

Thanks again.

You might consider contacting bob3 from the board. He is a viking dealer and overall nice guy full of good information.
 
You might get a panic attack when you see the price tag for the Turbo & Magnum hoods, they MSRP at $360 for the Turbo & $310 for the Magnum. Add $75 for a factory install.
If you think that you may be diving a hat again, I'd recommend the ring system. You can add/detach a neck seal and/or latex hood by way of the giant rubber band/o-ring. (sort of like their gloves)

If you're diving a Desco, you should be able to make up a yoke to fit it very easily.
Yokes for the SL17 are a whole other beastie, it's a feat worthy of a Chinese gymnast to get into one of those critters.
 
Bob3, that sounds great. My current yoke is for a SL 17, I am ready to just have a normal hood on this suit. The file you want to send me sounds great, I am not to worried about price, but just want what will suit my needs the best, a great price would be nice though.


You can email it to me at one of the addresses below.
