    transducer upgrade

    Finally an update... She floats! And the bilge is dry! And we have a picture and water temp. Hopefully I'll have some images of some big schools of fish offshore to share in coming months. It hadvery clear images at full speed and the boat speed actually seemed a little better without the...

    lift wire question

    I want to run the wire to the outside motor of my lift under the water. Most lifts in the creek I'm in do it that way. I plan on using the grey flex hose and putting that inside grey 2" pvc conduit for extra protection - ie from power pro and a running redfish if someone is fishing under the...

    transducer upgrade

    Your right. I sanded it smooth but my mistake was not grinding it right in the beginning because that was the key. For someone doing this my advice would be to use calipers to get the hull thickness perfectly uniform after cutting the hole. And airmar should make bigger tabs at top of ducer to...

    transducer upgrade

    So with hole cut I'm in my dinghy under the boat with the adrenalin shakes. Now began the hard work of fitting. The inside is not exactly flat so the thick plastic spacer-donut had to be contoured so it would sit flat. So I began the trial and file - ie dry fitting from hell. I got the spacer so...

    transducer upgrade

    I poured thickened west system epoxy onto the wax paper and tape yesterday so the hull is sound and leak proof just incase Murphy comes around. Hopefully I can drill hole next weekend. Little nervous about that one... Here's a shot of the new ducer. Pic doesnt really do it justice - thing is a...

    transducer upgrade

    The reason I hope this is a good thing (a stepping stone not an obstacle) is that sometimes coming in with a following sea the port engine would wind up (RPMs to 50s) secondary to cavitation. I'm hoping that it was secondary to the larger transducer directly in front of it. Any votes for what...

    transducer upgrade

    Sometimes obstacles can be stepping stones... That's what my pastor said a couple of weekends ago. Hoping it is true. I put my 2520 on a new lift for the first time and got itr wrong by two inches and put the transducer between bunk and boat. Ouch! :oops: So it looked like the fairing block...

    installed "EZ ANCHOR PULLER"

    If you're not on the bow, how does the line get layed so neatly on the drum? No heaping and binding? thanks

    rotating hatches, bedding compound?

    dale might have said he uses lifecaulk I cant remember but what should be used when putting in the frame of the hatch (talking about the rear cockpit hatch to aft bilge)? The old stuff looks like silicone to me. Certainly 5200 would be "too" permanent. Is 4200 just as permanent? Lowes white...
