Well, got the Transducer Out and the Plug In. Cleaned the transducer, swapped them back out and NO signal. Ordered a New Transducer - be here Tuesday. Thanks Again Everyone for the Kind words and advice. Much Appreciated. KIM

Thanks ALL for the Info/Encouragement. I will definetly have to create some space to accomplish this quickly. Took me a while to even find it. It was in the engine room, under the deck plates, but also under the house battery boxes that were bolted to the floor. Oh, and a piece of the deck...

Looking for a little assurance, that it's not Too tough to Pull the Tranducer Unit from the Airmar DT800 housing it is in, and QUICKLY insert the Blanking Plug. The Depth Finder/Temp sensor appears to Not be sending information to our Raymarine SeaTalk network, and I wanted to pull to inspect &...

Saddle Tank Sizes? We have a similar issue from time to time. Two saddle tanks feed to a center tank from which all engines are fed. The two saddle tanks however, according to the design prints, are not of equal size. There is a 40 gallon difference between the two. So, with both valves...

If any one has used the Dow Corning 795 caulk adhesive to install new polycarbonate panels to a hatch - can you tell me if the excess adhesive, after the initial bonding to the frame - will the 795 'release' from the surface of the exposed polished surface? I am using the stuff for the first...

Jeffrey, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I was on Defender's sight when I got your reply - that was a NO Brainer. CE is on it's way. I was on the sight looking for a couple decent inflatable life vests. Its a little difficult to buy something you can't put your hand on, but was leaning towards a...

WOW!!! Thank You ALL. Seeing A Lot of High Praise for CE. How can I not take some of the GrandKid's Christmas Toy Money and Buy ourselves a Little Something. A Wise Man once said, while talking to his children, "When I Die, IF there is Anything Left, I did something Wrong."

LMAO!!!! There you are, Shaming me for being Thrifty. We'll, I have saved us $10's of thousands by putting in a little extra effort. "Tight as a Crab's Ass, and That's Water Tight." OK, I'll Spend the money on the Software & Buy a Newer Basic Laptop.

After conferring with a Gentleman that teaches Advanced Navigation and has personally logged 30,000 miles cruising, I am searching for my best price/option on Coastal Explorer software by Rose Point. As a backup for the Raymarine Chartplotter on the new to us boat, I am wanting to use a Laptop...

I have to say, Great Responses from All, and it was what I was hoping to hear to help with my decision. The part about THE HARD paint building up and creating a problem in itself - and a need to sand or blast it off(over time), I hear in my wallet. One of the responses begs the question...

Thanks Ted, A Good Reason to go with a Hard Paint. We will be leaving Ft. Myers in April, and should log about 6500 miles in about a year. We'll be moving along quite a bit for a while, but then will become a little more sedentary. It's the months back in Florida that will require more...

Thanks for that. Yes, the boat is on the slow side, so the ablative make sense. The boat most likely had an ablative on it, but also had a diver on it about every 8 to 10 weeks.........subsequently it was Scrubbed down to the original surface - nothing left to bond too. I don't know if I can...

Our New to us boat is "on the hard," with the bottom to be sanded and primed on Monday. Still at question, is should I apply a Hard bottom paint or an ablative? Looking for a concensus or simply the best course for a boat that will be predominately in Florida waters, yet will start the loop...

We are working to Re-document the boat we just purchased. It was Documented in the name of a Trust. Try as I might, I can not find the advantages, and would really appreciate some input. The Admiral and I already have a trust, though found it a bit of pain to transfer properties we owned...

Ken? Do you remember the Approximate Cost of installing a FireBoy System?

Strangely, it was a FireBoy Distributor, as listed on FireBoy's Website, that did not wish to do a Full Install.

You've Hit on what I heard. In the event the engines were running, as part of the Halon System(or Successor), that the Oxygen to the Engine must be Shut Down automatically or the Air Intake will Use the Halon, like Air - and subsequently Use THAT what was intended to fight the fire. I called a...

As we are Very close to purchasing our boat, the list of 'Must Haves' is being weighed out. We believe it would give a little more Peace of Mind to have a Halon or other system in this engine room, but wanted to put it out to the Forum to help gather a little more information. I have heard...

What Model Year is the C140W? I am needing a 2nd Plotter for a boat we are about to purchase. It currently has the smaller C90W from 2010, but I find that this model has been out of production for 5 or 6 years and is No Longer supported by Raymarine. If Newer it could possibly become the main...

Wow!! Great Story!! Thanks for Sharing. Mother Nature is a Tough Mother. I believe after a Marine Electrician chases down a few things it could still be a Contender - Price being a consideration.

Thanks Ski, Makes Good Sense.

Question: Looking to purchase a boat that Was hit by lightning several years ago(2010). Should this have been disclosed? It is an older boat, 1990, and most every piece of electronics was replaced - looking at the invoices. Should that give me piece of mind, or is it "Buyer Beware?" Found out...

Well, Sounds like you are having a bit of fun at my expense. No, not a costume, a uniform, only the boats in the park were on tracks. We had the equivalent of Disney's Marine Patrol always keeping an on us and the guests that would were allowed to rent all types of watercraft and zip all over...

Thanks, You could very well see us there Winter after this one. When we should be making a turn to Port towards Lake OKeechobee, we're already talking about Wintering down there. You are off of Vaca Cut? We spent many Lobster Seasons all around the Big Pine Key area. Beautiful!!!!

If Perception Was Reality We'd Leave Tomorrow. There is still a Learning Curve to catch up too.
