    30’ to 36’ boat owners with transom mounted transducers, I need your help

    From the photo it appears that the transducer covers the bilge drain which I can’t do as I plan to move from a wet slip to dry storage in the spring

    30’ to 36’ boat owners with transom mounted transducers, I need your help

    Chris, is it possible or even feasible to mount that transducer flush on the bottom of the boat instead of on the transom

    Thanks for your response. Where do you have the GT56 positioned relative to the engines & do you get any prop wash interference?

    30’ to 36’ boat owners with transom mounted transducers, I need your help

    I have a 2002 330 express with an Airmar B164 thruhull transducer, tied into a network with a 5212 and a 5012. I just purchased dual 1243XSV displays to replace the 5212/5012 units. The package I purchased comes with a GT56 UHD transom mount transducer. I have no experience with a transom...

    Different grades of enclosure material?

    I did the same thing on my 2002 330 about 5 years ago & they still look practically new - use Imar cleaner & polish products

    Came close to sinking my 330 yesterday

    Even if I keep the pop out plates, the suggestion to secure the plates with the 100 lb mono is an excellent suggestion - thanks

    Came close to sinking my 330 yesterday

    Eltajin thanks for your response. I am rather ashamed to admit this but I did not check the breakers at the battery switch panel. In the midst of what was going on I didn't think about it and now sitting at home I don't know what breakers are located there and the manual isn't much help. My...

    Came close to sinking my 330 yesterday

    Long story short. Water sloshing out of livewell made it to the scuppers by the rear door, as it’s supposed to. But, as it turns out the hoses from the scuppers to the thru hulls weren’t connected so the water went into the bilge instead of overboard. Normally not a problem as bilge pump would...

    Express 330 AC replacement - suitable replacement

    Who makes the rocker switch covers?

    New wire did a new dash panel when I repowered from 2002 Yahamas to new Suzukis - took the panel from 5 small round displays to 2 larger rectangles. Came out perfect.

    Repower 330

    I actually replaced the original 225hp Yamahas with the 250hp Suzukis. Like you speed is not my top priority, comfort is much more important to me & I bought the boat in 2011 with 450 hours on them. I then put an additional 1,000+ hours on them. The 225s cruised 25-28 mph at 4500 rpm getting...

    Repower 330

    I repowered my 2002 with Suzuki 250AP in 2021. Originally I had ordered 300AP (installing dealer had no problem with the upgrade) but based on the suggestion of a friend I checked with insurance company (Progressive) to make sure they were ok with it. Following is the response from insurance...
