I just removed 2 lbs from my Zeagle Tech from the side I am mounting the pony bottle.
Are you going to be 2lbs positive with an empty pony?
Evad, given the function of my pony is for emergency purposes only. If I am using my pony, I have already called the dive and heading for the surface.
To your point, would the tank by 2 lbs positive when empty, yeah to a point. It has been awhile since checking the specs for my setup. If I am not mistaken, my pony is 2 1/2 to 3 pounds negative when full. Maybe 1/2 pound negative when empty, I think. It has been a few years on checking that spec. Should I compensate for the weight change, I don't think so given the dive would be called. If I had the extra weight on the opposite side, would I not cause a weight shift causing me to roll?
