Re: Water pickup/transducer

Check Airmar. They have a flush mount transducer that will fix your problem. 600w triducer around $200. Better than patching a hole.

Re: Possible Leaking Scuppers???????????

Make sure that you have limber holes in you stringers aft. My 89 23cc had none. I'd start with a dry bilge and end up with a few gallons of water by the end of the day. Water gets trapped outside of...

Re: b-60 transducer

Cut the hole yesterday. My hull is only 3/8 thick in the bilge.No core. Now I know the difference between the tracker hull and the potter hull. With the tracker hull, you can only hit small rocks.

Re: 89 23cc fuel tank

I think I'm going to pull it and if it comes out undamaged, looking pretty good, I'll seal it and drop it back in. I'm thinking that my high pressure washer could cut right through the foam on the...
