Thank you so much for taking the time to do that.

Okay. I can wait until then. Thanks.I'll get some good pics of the mounting location and where I pulled power from. Check back around the 26th.

Awesome. I was planning on mounting it in front of the engine, but I wasn't quite sure where. Do you have any pics?If you'r talking about a transducer for a depth finder, then yes I just installed one on mine. The directions stated that I could mount it either on the outside bottom of the stern with the little hinged bracket, or inside the hull. I chose inside the hull for durability, and worry-free performance. The trick was to find a spot in the hull that was not a double hull as the double hull will screw around with the operation of the unit. I ended up mounting the transducer using a big glob of two part marine epoxy (the stuff that you get at Lowes/Home Depot and squeezes out of two joined syringes). The spot that I chose was basically the lowest point in the hull. It is the flat surface that is situated below and just behind the center seat. You access it just towards the bow of the engine. You're going to have to lay on the engine and reach you right arm down there to do the work. I used a brillo pad to clean and scuff the fiberglass, then rubbing alcohol to clean the dust and prep the surface for good adhesion. I used a lot of epoxy. So much that it oozed up around the edges when I pushed it down. It works great and gives an accurate depth reading.
Thanks.
Craig
EDIT: Where did you get the 12 volts from? I'm thinking about grabbing it right from the battery, but I'm worried about interference.
