Mounting a through hull transducer

[SlowPoke]

Worked perfect!!! Next challenge

 

Wy the heck is this 80lbs terrova not feel like it has any balls. 2 brand new batteries with full charge and I lost the battle to the wind today. Maybe not the best test, it was more wind then I have ever fished I think.

Have to ask... are you sure you're connections are correct and you're not running 12v instead of 24?

_{It would appear as though this is too late but thought I'd throw it out there anyway. This is something I saw on the Vexilar website and was what I would've used had I gone with a "through-hull" mounting arrangement. I've never used it so can't say good or bad. http://vexilar.com/products/index.php?prodNum=ACE001.}

 

_{Someone had posted that you can't shoot through aluminum hulls and apparently this is possible as as well. http://vexilar.com/products/index.php?prodNum=TB0023AU.}

 

_{Hope this is helpful.}

Ok so with all the sanding and epoxying I ended up putting the boat back together at about 1:30 in the morning. I inadvertently connected the 24V Jumper from ground to ground. I was getting really strange reading on the multimeter when I was investigating. Having a good long look at it revealed my mistake. Made the chages and the terrova now humms!!! I should have known something was up when the terrova was turning really really slow. Oh well, easy fix at least

Good call Brian. I didnt see where he said it was turning slow,just alot of waves to deal with.
