| [title] Ballasting |
| [* black] Ballasting your OpenROV is key to a good dive performance. |
| [* black] More ballast (weight) will be required for salt water than fresh water. |
| [* black] Adding weight to the front threaded rod is the recommended ballasting method, though there are many others. |
| [* black] Weight should be distributed evenly from left to right and slightly in biased towards the front. |
| [* black] The ideal is to have a neutrally buoyant OpenROV so that it neither sinks nor floats. Test this by placing the OpenROV into the water and adding weight one at a time until you are just barely afloat. |
