I was on a boat running beside you and wanted to ask a question. thanks, Rob

I bought a Shurhold system also but I got the blue "Soft" brush head, too soft for blood n' guts. I was thinking about the red combo brush with the stiff center. Which do you use?

I was going with the Garmin package that has an in hull and a transom mount for the Side view. $600 for both.

Yeah, well, common sense has prevailed, going with the transom mount which will also give me temps. I may look into cutting that access hatch though...

Thru-hull or in-hull?

Circling back to this, Dave (OP) did you ever do this? I'm asking as I just purchased a Garmin system with an in hull and I'm trying to figure how to get down there. thanks, Rob

Has anyone done this? I just purchased a Garmin 943xsv with an in-hull transducer and now I'm wondering if I'll be able to even mount it, seems like impossible access to get down in there. Anyone?

PM sent, thanks.

Somewhere here I saw a post with a custom made cutting board that was attached to the rail in front of the engine well, would like to see pics again but cannot find it.

Too much sand, no structure? I would think fluking would be good.

That coastline in the Port Jeff area and east is something I want to explore and fish now that I can travel that far. Plan to spend to time at spooky old lighthouse too (Stratford)....

You can try Norwalk Cove Marina, they are the largest one and have transient docking but quite a walk to S. Norwalk. Closer to the S. Norwalk center you can try Rex Marine. The S Norwalk "Sono" area has all the shops and restaurants.

If you’re from the north shore I was probably closer to you than CT.

LI Sound out of Norwalk, CT, 12 fish boated, 31-41". All downhill from here...

Circling back to this, I went with Lectrotabs. Installing the tabs was straightforward, wiring was a breeze. Operation is easy with the touchpad and they make a substantial difference with a Honda 150 hanging off the transom....

Hookup, Is your 943 flush mounted or on the bail? If it's on the bail would you mind measuring the total height from bottom of bail to top of unit? I want to put one on my 180 but the sloping windshield may prevent that. thanks, Rob

My running lights weren't turning on, I traced the problem to a faulty 10A dashboard circuit breaker which was only putting 6VDC through. This is a small rubber button next to the switch on the dash. I tried removing the dash but the 6 mounting screws have frozen, the first one snapped right...

Nice job too! Nice not ever having to worry about that again

That's what mine looks like also, an unfinished, angled, end with glass fibers protruding. Hard to get a plug to seal. Also, if this line was plugged, how would you know if the tank is leaking? It's a sealed compartment.

Hence the manual's recommendation... "The access plates on your fuel tank lids keep the fuel compartments sealed. Over time, the opening and closing of these plates causes the o-rings to wear-out. Replace these o-rings as necessary to maintain the watertight integrity of the plates."
