Mounting Ballast to the Frame
To mount the ballast to the frame, you need the following parts and tools:
• 7 x 200g ballast weights
• 7 x 8-16 Thread, 5/8” Long, Thread-Forming Screw
• 1 x #2 phillips head screwdriver
To get the longest battery life and the best driving experience, it is important to have the
ROV close to balanced from front to back in water and close to neutrally buoyant.
Trimming the ballast may involve a bit of trial and error. The pictures below should provide
a good starting point for mounting ballast if you have a stock BlueROV2 with
the recommended battery.
