I'm talking about hull paint above the water. I originally assumed they would be removed for the paint process and it would be the proper time replace being a big point of failure but after more research it seems a painter may just tape off the fittings.

Assuming during paint process would be the time to do thru hull fittings/hoses on an 05? What if upgrade in 2 years but want paint now?

@pat sorry to highjack your thread. Pic of engine mount height (rafter came out for fresh paint). Is this is a normal mounting height?

Yea, why I'm in interested in this thread. I will say when testing WOT in calm bay conditions the bottom was not clean and when I started to take note at cruise in calmer ocean conditions I did have full water and fuel tanks. Probably something I should have kept a better eye on this year but...

Any advice on transducer settings, mounting location to have a clearer picture when using staypoint or fishpoint? I've noticed the fish finder is pretty much useless when the engines are holding a position. My transducer is thru hull on the starboard side about mid hull. I'm assuming this is...
