    Transducer installation query

    And be forewarned that the location noted in the install manual isn’t negotiable. Too far off center line and the side scan beam hits the lower unit, cutting off the picture. One other thing…did the unit come with a spray shield for the transducer? Unless they redesigned the mount, which it...

    Transducer installation query

    It will not work. GT side scan has to be on the transom.

    Transducer installation query

    Experimented quite a bit on my last boat. Couldn’t not for the life of me to get a transom mount to run clean. Didn’t want to install a thru-hull so I started exploring shoot thru installations. After experimenting with a couple of different installation methods, epoxy shelf, flat spot, etc...

    2 cycle oil in primer bulb

    It shouldn't do that. The fuel system is not vented to atomsphere (under vacuum). You have a leak in your fuel system somewhere.

    Transducer installation query

    Transom mounts are always problematic in this regard thus the popularity of in-hull and thru-hull applications Having said that, are you using it as a "depth gauge" or a "fish finder"? Big difference in the "quality of the mount" required for both applications

    Water in fuel, how to restart engine on good gas

    Drain fuel filters and carbs. Contrary to popular belief, E10 is the best fuel system cleaner and drier in the market. Run fresh E10 to clean carbs and remove any moisture left in the system.

    Rec gas prices???

    That is because nondiscretionary usage is typically fixed. The variable is fuel prices. I burn 12 gallons of gas a week commuting to the office. Burn 150 gallons of diesel a year in the tractor mowing and what not. Burn 180 gallons “diesel” a month to heat the house, etc. Discretionary fuel...

    I cannot find the right U bolts (1/2 x 4 x 3.5) anywhere

    What your going to find is that a number of trailer manufacturers use non-standard size hardware on their trailers. Having said that, here are your bolts. https://www.easternmarine.com/road-king-1-2-square-stainless-steel-u-bolt-12x35ubss This site carry most of the standard trailers sizes...

    Poor draining in Optronics potted LED trailer lights?

    Drilling a hole in a tail light enclosure to allow “flushing” is about the craziest thing I’ve heard in a while. Return them and buy a set of sealed lights
