Mounted GT-56 with the Sternmate system cantilevered over the garboard plug so I still have access to to remove it if necessary. Centerline on the keel. Works good for sidescan at off plane speeds. Driven by GPSMAP 1243xsv. Outstanding sidescan at lower speeds, motors don’t get in the way.

Look at the scandvik website. They make most of them

36V minnkota I-pilot with the longest shaft they sell. I have had two and they are great. Buy them from trolling motors.net for the best price. Free shipping no tax. The shaft will be a bit long for storage but if you mount it correctly, it shouldn’t be in the way. The only advantage to a...

I had the same problem. Use care not to drive it to either extreme, open or closed. I close mine to about a 1/4" from hitting the stop. I also lubricated the mechanism with silicone spray. It is accessible from behind the electrical panel in the cabin. That panel will drop out of the opening...

My garboard plug is still reachable as the mounting plate is slightly above it with the transducer cantilever down over it. I can still unscrew it. The mounting plate is centered directly over the garboard plug.

I have the same set up on my 2007 330. The GT 56 is centered between the engines and is driven by a 1243xsv. I also have the original through hull transducer that works as well.

Here’s some background material. As long as nothing bad happens, no one will know, maybe if you sell it could be an issue: https://newboatbuilders.com/pages/33CFR_Fuel.html

12 foot surge here in Inglis! We had 23” of water in our lower level (garage) 330 was secured to float above the lift and it rose 4-5’ but came back down about 6” off ideal placement. Used long scope mooring lines to trees and pilings to accommodate the tidal range.We had 70-80 knots and it had...

Find the installation or users manual on line for your model. That will spell out the process. Otherwise, you are just guessing!

Most VHF-FM Tranceivers are hard wired past the BATT switches as are stereo memory. The electrical schematics will only show GW standard items such as bilge pumps, stereo, carbon monoxide detector, etc. not electronics installed by dealers etc.

Need to know what the brand of engines and gauges at least!

Recommend a stainless steel head versus powder coated aluminum. The mating surface often gets corroded on the aluminum ones. The mating surface is not powder coated on the aluminum ones and it corrodes pretty easily.

Don’t forget that when repowering, the engines may have different lower unit gear ratios so the engine RPM may not correspond to the same prop RPM on a different engine. For instance, the newer 4.2 L Yamaha four strokes have a different gear ratio than the older 3.3 L four strokes.

I am a fan of Garmin. My boat originally came with some old Garmin and upgraded to dual 1243xsv screens. I am a fan of sidescan for where I fish in the Gulf of Mexico. So I have a GT 56 transducer mounted amid ships on the transom. I also have a through hull, don’t remember the number but works...

Scandvik website carries those.

Look for a galvanic isolator which usually has a switch. Typically located under the gunwale near where the receptacle is located.

To see if you actually have one attached pull up your communications menu on your MFD and it will show you if you have one and whether it is communicating with your chart plottler.

Grady does not typically outfit the electronics. That is typically done by the dealer so standardization is not there. Most GPS antennas do not require a clear view to the sky these days. Also most modern MFDs have internal antennas and do not require an external antenna such as the 17xd. Are...
