    What is this connector and bracket? Fishfinder/GPS/etc.?

    What is this connector and bracket? Fishfinder/GPS/etc.?

    I dont have the humminbird any more. 🤔 If you get lucky and id or find the correct head unit you have the (possible ) bonus of it being plug and play , but your then stuck with what I suspect is fairly dated technology ....inc the transducer if there is one . If you go new you will have to...

    What is this connector and bracket? Fishfinder/GPS/etc.?

    Looks like the whole harness for a fishfinder ,and the mounting bracket . I wouldn't be surprised if there was a transducer fixed to the inside of the hull. Im picking the two biggest holes in that plug will be 12vdc . Stick a volt meter or test light in there and see if you cant find power ...

    Lower gear oil drain plug seal for Johnson outboard

    Haven't done this myself but a friend who suffers paranoia about drain plugs with nylon (or whatever they are ) sealing washers and he dunks them ( the screw and washer ) in a cup of boiling water to soften them just before installing them and then hand tightens them wth the bf screwdriver. I...

    rodent infestation

    Dunno about the US but bird shot here is stupid expensive . I once had a 9mm rimfire bird shot ( #10 or #12 shot ) gun , nice idea but it was pretty low powered which was good in sheds because it didnt hole anything ( inc the bird most of the time ) but the shot would ricochet round a...

    rodent infestation

    Mystery bolt found in bilge

    That bolt ain't worn thin ....its stretched to death . Check the thread pitch where the bolt is thin and you can see the difference . Hopefully someone actually replaced the bolt and maybe either dropped or threw the bolt into the bilge .😁
