I also have one of those log style Force Tens on the bottom of the
Northwest Arm in Halifax harbour just south of the Dingle Tower about 75
feet off the west shore in about 30 feet of water.  We all watched it break
free when I went to light it and for a brief moment it look as if it were
going to float...that totally changed our dinner plans...weak link was
three little spot welds on the mounting hardware
