How do I avoid scrathes on the bottom of my new movie meg can?

I could be imagining this, but my trim felt way better with the new shorter can and the smaller 2l. tanks.

All I need to do now is replace some of the LP hoses that are 10cm to long, then it's perfect for my use.

Christian;

I prefer using my 13 cufts (1.8 L) over the 20's that I have because these (13 cuft) provide a better trim.

No need to replace your LP hoses. Just shorten them using these

LINE-X Spray-On Truck Bedliners...the ultimate truck accessory!

This stuff looks really good. Can you apply it at home too? Without the need of special tools?

This would be great to coat the tanks aswell so that they do not get corroded or bruised.

And how much does it cost?

My upper torso is short, as I'm about 5'8". My Movie Meg with 13's is perfect for my trim too. Outside of ever finding a CIS scrubber, I don't see much of an advantage to a full Meg for most divers. The water trap area is smaller, but that would be a serious flood in either cannister. I need shorter hoses too, but I'm looking at plumbing options for the future when I add the BOV and more offboard capability.

I like the trim of the 13's as well, even with a full size can. They're lighter getting out of the water and have plenty of gas for a couple of short dives.
