Transducer question
 
Installing furuno fcv 620 on a 05 20 footer do I need the B60-20 or B60-12

McGillicuddy 02-09-2012 07:22 PM

really depends where and on what hull panel you intend to mount it. measure the angle there. I think the 20 is good for 16 to 24 degrees. less than 16 deg., go with the 12.

B60-12 covers hull deadrise 8-15 degrees
B60-20 covers hull deadrise 16-24 degrees
You need the B60-20

I've got the B164 on my 23'er. Love it. I went with the 16-24. Works perfect. If you are going with the 600W unit, I think Mr. Tautog is correct with the B60-20.

Trying to run tranducer wire and oil lines through riggin tube after 2 hour cant even get snake through. Is it alright if bypass riggin tube and they are on top of gas tank? Thats how the one is now along with other wires.

I would run the TX Cable thru a piece of 1/2" or 3/4" PVC tube at least the length or longer of the fuel tank to help with shielding and any chance of chaffing ;)

I would "fight the snake" until all hope is exhausted. Reason being is that I would run a puller line through the rigging tupe so that in the future you wouldn't need to worry about "snakeing" it again. One of the guys on here sent me about 30 feet of nylon tape (Bull Tape?) that I intend to use to pull a closed loop through the rigging tube. That way it will work like a conveyor belt if anchored around a fixed roller just outside either end of the 'r' tube.

JMHO.

Thanks for the help got tx cable through and left a puller line. Can i splice the oil line together been told yes and no?

DonV 02-11-2012 08:17 PM

Yep, good job....always leave a pull line!!! You will thank yourself someday!!!!

I'm assuming you are talking about the two-stroke oil line, I've got a splice in mine. Brass barbed fitting, NOT nylon/plastic, and SS clamps.

Good luck!
