I don't have Simrad so I'm not an expert on their lineup but I think the "3 in 1" is the equivalent of my garmin GT51. So I would say that a transom mount would be easy and would connect right up to your NSS and give you a very modern CHIRP and sidescan sonar.

" it should make no difference, I would think, which switch is connected to which battery." It should not help you to run the other way. If it does, that tells you there is something wrong that needs to be fixed. There is a "Normal" way. Connections are made based on the normal way...

because thats thats the way its always done. The Starbord motor is the "first" motor. The house is usually connected to the stbd motor. The port motor is added. The Bank1 is the "first" battery. Bank 2 is an additional battery bank. Often Bank1 will have two batteries in parallel to run the...

not familiar with your boat but probably have to remove handle and some screws and something in the gunnel so you can pull it out. Old boats had to remove the rod holder insert

We don't have enough info yet. I need his boat's battery Diagram because things are not being described fully or correctly. He has twin motors. that implies he has 2 switches. One switch for Stbd motor and one switch for Port Motor. Usually the HOUSE is tied directly to the Stbd motor. It...

There is a diagram in your manual. Facing the Bow, starboard is the right side port os the left side Facing the batteries and switches, port is on the right Bank 1 is always starboard motor start and usually also the house The trim of a motor is powered by the battery that starts it...

hehehe trying to decipher this but I agree that silicone does not stick very well to the rims of the Beckson plates. Everytime I have ever removed them the silicone was stuck to the gelcoat and not the plastic rim. The Beckson rim has "Only use silicone" printed right in the plastic.(probably...

I'm not looking at your manual but every Grady I have ever seen used the stbd bank as the house and stbd start. get your manual.

Are you staying at Point yacht club this season?

Chair is plastic. don't gelcoat. You might find some special paint for plastic but I think Rustoleum says "plastic" I think it will scratch off though under normal use. Try cleaning or covering.

their Cross Refence lookup is always a good thing to look at. https://www.airmar.com/xref Looks like they don't make one with a Garmin plug anymore but you can use the wiring info to get the wire colors and pinouts and then use a Garmin brand 8 pin adapter. Looks like it is an 8 pin.

read this https://www.airmar.com/Customer-Support/Connector-Guide I think Airmar now ships with their own connector and you get an adapter for Mfgers. B/M285 is CHIRP so it probably uses Garmin Orange 12 pin to Garmin MFDs Garmin also has adapters for various pinouts. There is always the...

The fine print often excludes a lot of the catastrophic stuff you think you are protecting yourself against. You still have to pay for the maintenance. So either you definitely spend $2500 and maybe get more than $2500 worth of repairs or you maybe spend nothing or < $2500 or maybe >$2500...

B175/B285/M285 are the same functionally except M does not have water temp.(your GT51 will give you water temp so thats not an issue) Do you currently have an old thru hull? If so, replacing it with a B285 will save time and money and get rid of the old thruhull. Does yor Sailfish have the flat...

oh ok so you gelcoated the deck hatch and installed a Tempress hatch into it. You were talking about that in another thread. Just get a scrub brush and warm soap & water and then scrub with acetone and gelcoat it again.

Dreaming about a bigger boat is always exciting. Been there done that. Moved from a trailerable 20 to an untrailerable 26. Glad I did it. There is a lot that goes with having a bigger boat and it all costs money. Twin motors, twice the fun.... 3 feet in boats is a huge difference. But 275...

I have hit all of those areas with silicone or 4000uv. I suggest replacing the motorwell pie plates with the screw-in type. I worry a popped plate is a sinking. The deck drain hoses to the scuppers should be inspected. If they are only half as bad as mine were, they need replacing. Here is a...

I did say very latest, not current. Garmin has way too many models out right now. My guess is something's going to happen. Especially if, as you say, 943xsv is being sold at discount.

You have to watch out for the differences in what is being sold. The included Maps, transducer, etc. Some 943xsv might be same model but older g3 maps. 943 has been bundled alot with the older radar and I have seen variations in maps and transducers. Sometimes the transducer is not included...

seals and rods look good in the picture. Tilt cap maybe replaced? You would think he would do a spraycan rebuild of the pump motor before selling...
