Joey,
our ballast tanks have minor leaks which means that once a month or so we have to put air back into our tanks, granted there is 6'-8' underneath the keel which is a good thing we still monitor the list and correct when needed.. My next question is how do you blow your tanks? are you using a small air compressor or are you all using the ships LP blower? or the Hardy-Tines?

During the school of the boat we discussed making a household air compressor work onboard and how to tie one in and bringing the air systems back to life once more, take a look and take what the Ling needs from what other museums have gone through and what was taught not only here on this BBS but to the previous submariners whom went through New London, Ct.
