I've just received a sampling of the Mtroniks sound module for submarines. Although I haven't completely rigged it up in a boat and run it underwater, I have done a bench test (dining room table actually -another bollocking for that too!)
I placed the speaker in a jar of water and ran the dive, sequence, and it worked just fine. Of course, the sound was very muffled underwater, but as soon as it surfaced, it was loud and clear. Try doing that with an ordinary speaker and the paper middle would fall out in no time.
I have a call in to Steve at Mtroniks for a little help with the pinger, but aside from that, this looks like a winner.
The speaker is about 2" diameter, so this puppy won't fit in the smaller boats. The electronics box is about the size of an Mtroniks Speed Controller.
Here are the instructions.
