Thru hull install

[Jsmfun]

Hi Scott,
I have a hole saw if you want to borrow. 70mm. I am just off the Fig Tree Pocket Rd turn off, so if your heading the city way, drop by. I am home most days. I have still been meaning to drop by and catch up, but you know how it is!.

Cheers,
Darren

Thanks for the offer mate much appreciate it but I was going past blackwoods this arvo and called in and picked one up it was only $25 ... Thanks for the offer and we will catch up one day everyone's got bills and toys to pay for

cheers scott

Got a hot tip for you- leaf blower on idle behind you, full respiration mask and tyvek jump suit. Use a car jack to keep transducer in place until nut is tight.

Just make sure the jack doesn't place pressure on the face of the transducer. Block of wood across the face probably a good idea

And make sure you have transducer line pointing at keel not running in line with keel like one numb nuts I know. Sounder would never read properly (obviously) and I had, I mean he had to reinstall. Massive pita. Do it right first time

Is the hull a little concave in the transducer position?

Hi mull dog I shall pay close attention to that I would have imagined it to be frustrating to move it again

Yes very small where the from bilge pump was . Why is that fed

Just wondering mate, I'd dry fit it & pull it up tight to see how it sits before getting the goop out.
Have you found anyone else who has fitted one to the same boat?

[Jsmfun]

no i haven't most people get there boat shops to do it?
so im going to go pro it good or bad it will go to youtube lol sunday will be D day

[baitable]

dont forget the big ass open wrench to tighten the nut. I have posted my install of an airmar thru hull and some pics... couple of tips to stop the transducer spinning as well when u tighten the nut

[Jsmfun]

So I got a little drill happy today and dry fitted the tranny


Will see how it goes tomorrow

Looks good. Give the surface a good clean with metho but do not use any to actually clean up the sika. Polyurethanes are affected by alcohol and will remain sticky if brought into contact while still wet. Just make sure it is dry before applying the goop.

Thanks scottar I did not know that shall do
