So I have the piping and was going through some placement ideas, I would like to openly thank cfy7 for pointing out my ethernet splitter was unnecessary and although I haven't spliced up an Ethernet cable to run the arduino and Pi yet I will be just doing that
Otherwise the back of the ROV will house batteries and the weight should be balanced by the weight of the threaded union at the front
I will place a piece of acrylic in between the pipe and the union as the window and seal it with an oring on one side and a gasket one the other
The motor drivers will hopefully be lying on a thin copper rail that is heats inked up to the pipe wall and the rest should have loads of space anyway quick pic of the mockup so far

so I can't really comment except to say it looks like it will be really well-made.
