    Probably for high visibility during submerged running as David did with his 1/96 Blueback's orange marker buoy.

    Thanks, it will be noted down for the future, saves time adjusting the ADF

    Question, at which setting you run the ADF?, got to know for the future, still have to order some ADF's from Bob together with some other needed stuff.

    For a new boat -- and I've only got a few minutes underwater time with my little Type-21 -- I set the ADF to its least sensitive setting. The Type-21 was rock-steady about the pitch plane with the ADF set to the lowest sensitivity setting.

    Only rarely do I find a boat that needs a more responsive angle-keeper.

    The more severe the objects draft, the less precise the contour gauge becomes.
    Understood.

    Surely a contour gauge would be faster than plotting individual points by hand to get the outline of the hull?

    Just tap to secure and to release.

    Yes. And they do the same job here, but instead of tightening the hose around a static length of gas/liquid piping, the grommets make fast rotating shafts to the hose -- this assembly serving as a universal coupler between motor and propeller shaft.
