Building a Sea Perch The Sea Perch is one of the several ROV designs included in "Build Your Own Under Water Robot and Other Wet Projects" by Harry Bohm and Vickie Jensen. MIT Sea Grant has modified our instructions for building a Sea Perch so that it is simpler and cheaper to build in the classroom. We have created a three-unit manual with detailed step-by-step instructions and a modified parts list. Sea Perch Construction ManualDownload the Sea Perch Construction Manual (includes Parts List) (1.6 MB PDF - Updated June 2008)NOTE - August 2007: There has been a significant change to the instructions for mounting the propellers on the motors.

Acquiring Parts for Sea PerchThe Sea Perch Parts and Tools List (28 KB PDF) provides valuable information on the parts and tools you need to construct a Sea Perch ROV, as well as cost estimates.
