    Storing splash wings on boat?

    UV and heat is not kind to enclosures materials..... My enclosure stays on the boat from October to late May. When not on the boat, it's rolled up and stored on a shelf in the basement. To answer your question, the only real concern with rolling them up is scratching the "glass". A buddy...

    Fish Finder Menu Map

    Not hard to believe at all......If you need a "menu map" for users to operate the equipment, your HMI design team failed in their job of designing an intuitive interface ;) The reason I went with Garmin, other than CHIRP performance, was how intuitive the menu systems is. I've owned multiple...

    Fuel vent question

    Blow compressed air back through the vent. Quite possible the vent is water logged Run into several boats over the years that were slow to fill because of the orientation of the fill and vent. Boat would take fuel w/o incidence on the trailer, yet kept kicking out on the water

    Shot in the Dark Depth Transducer Compatibility

    The hummingbird units he posted above run at 200kHZ which is a pretty typical frequency for sonar units in general. The the thru hull is 200 kHZ as well, certainly, no reason it wouldn't work except the pin outs in the connector

    Shot in the Dark Depth Transducer Compatibility

    Unfortunately, transducer wiring is for the most part proprietary to a specific makes and models. If you have a part number for the transducer you can find a list of compatible units. Doubt your going to find a "fishing" transducer compatible with a simple depth gauge

    Sounds like you have a bunch of air and or water the system. I had both when I replaced the trim motor a couple of years back. Trim must be raised to add fluid to the system.

    Installing a transducer in an aluminum boat

    The problem with these types of discussions is that “good performance” is subjective. Is holding bottom at speed the standard? Is marking a walnut at 60’ the standard? Is marking a fish in the water column at 35 mph the standard? The two standards I use….. Can I mark individual fish at my...

    Unusual Bilge pump power issue

    A “common” in a DC circuit?. Every ground on the boat must be tied back (have continuity) to a common source (battery post) to prevent ground loops. Grounding point for voltage tests should not matter As such, the entire ground path is easily verified by checking continuity between component...
