Not sure if you've seen it or not, but there is a guy on YouTube who is doing basically what you are. Might get some ideas from him. He has a full playlist for it. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTlAhsWfj8B-CcRmy-Xf9hchzY-YpXP5H

Very nice, congrats!

They make mats to go under the rod holder mounted grills, seen them on Amazon.

Good point, my concern is being asleep in the cabin, alarm at the helm might not be loud enough to wake me up. It is simple to wire, so I think I'll go with two alarms, with sensor in both the forward bilge and aft bilge.

LOL that is the exact one I'm looking at, found it on Amazon. I think I would like to alarm panels, one at the helm and one in the cabin. Thanks guys for all the help!

Great info, thanks guys!

One of the surveyor's comments was I need to add a bilge high water alarm to my 282. So, anyone have suggestion on a easy to install high water alarm, and where to mount it (how high is high)?

Congrats on the purchase!

If I'm doing over 40 I'm probably not looking for fish. :) Yeah this is to get me started, once I get the second NSX I'll look at through hull transducers.

A little update, as I was contemplating Simrad vs Garmin, I recalled that I had a new in box transducer that came with my last Lowrance. I didn't use it as I already had a transducer on the boat. The transducer is the TotalScan all in one transom mount model. It works with Lowrance and Simrad...

Yup, this is how I got screwed.

Chevy vs. Ford. Both offer great products, research online and maybe go to a shop that sells both and play with them.

I wish you were right, and I'll look again, but we did trace the transom transducer to the GSD 22..

Nope, just one transducer hooked to the GSD22 and it's the transom mount that is laying in the bilge..

Thank you very much for the detailed info, I will dive into this, digest it, and I'm sure I will be back with more questions.

Yeah that is something I will be doing, right now I'm just trying to find out the best way to get one graph and transducer on the boat. Then as money allows I will add the other components that I want.

That is an option, just not sure I like the idea of a transom mount on this boat.

I could really use some input on graphs and transducers for our 03 282 we just got. My experience is with 2 boats over the past 14 years in freshwater and inshore. During this time I used Lowrance graphs and transom mounted transducers, with 2d, chirp, down and side imaging. The 282 came with...
