Spec Boot For Mk-15

[raftingtigger]

I made and have molds for MK10s and MK5s. MK10 molds are copies of the OEM boot. MK5s are my design. I personally have not tested the MK10s - as at the time I did not own any. I have tested the MK5s with sea water packing several times with no change in performance or IP. I did take a IP gauge down on one dive. Compatibility with standard packing grease is still unknown.

I consider the molds and materials a success. I do have a little side business, but am not sure I want to sell scuba regulator parts (liability and all). I just sent Couv the 2 MK10 boots I

I hear you about the liability.
Well, my little bicycle tire boot outs still working just fine three years into my experiment. I haven't serviced the reg I all that time and it still locks up perfectly.
But if you ever make any more for the Mk 10, I'll even pay a lawyer to draft you up an iron clad Release of Liability.

Thanks for your quick reply

Here is one installed on my #1 single hose regulator setup-it looks great. Yes, it's packed with a million dollars worth of O2 safe grease and the boot flexes out when pressurized. I haven't tested it on a dive, but the packed chamber and boot did not affect the IP. I'll report back after testing.

Thank you Tigger!

The woman has skills!

I need to get back to the MK15. Likely happen soon, cataracts and root canals. Major shop recall for me, dry for a while afterward...

Hope you mend soon.

It must be hell when you get old.....get well soon and come back swinging.

I'm not old yet, just practicing for it at 67. Probably happen in the next few decades...

I'm amazed at my body's rapid decline over the past 5 years I went from being a dynamo to a toy with flat batteries. My eye sight is failing the fastest followed by a general lack of energy. Always tired but can't sleep. Oh well, that's life I guess. As long I can still dress myself, kind of keep up with my young son and still get from the carpark to the water with a tank on my back I'll keep my complaining to a minimum. It could always be worse, much worse...take care people. Cheers.

I think you just described me. Decline in strength and endurance. Increase in injuries. Chronic daily aches and pains. Its more than just a little bit scary.
