It works!

Hi Dan Thanks for posting pictures of an alternative for strengthening the top rail. Strengthening the top rail at the corner is an easier problem to solve than when locating the Scotty base forward on the rail. I like to be able to stand aft of the downrigger base to more easily manipulate...

Hi Dan, I have a fabricator friend who came up with an elegant solution that works well and looks good. It's most easily explained using photographs. How do I attach photos to this reply? Rob

Thanks for your responses.

Has anyone installed a water level guage on the water tank? Thanks, Rob

Love them. I've had boats with 6-71's and last boat an 8V-71. Marvelous pieces of equipment. Wish the boat I had now had a Detroit in it. Naturally aspirated all. I have no opinion to offer on turboed Detroits. Run a na Detroit at 1,450 (occasionally opening them up to 1650), change the oil and...

I have a Monk 36 and would like to attach an Ace Prawn Hauler to the top rail, aft starboard side. The rail is fairly sturdy but the Ace will put a lot of down and side pressure on the rail. Has anyone, dealt with same problem? I'm thinking of having a stainless bracket fabricated in an attempt...

Hi, Anyone have any experience with shipping a Monk 36 from San Francisco to Vancouver, BC? Companies that do this? Approximate cost? I searched General Discussion and couldn't find a thread. Sorry if I missed it. Rob

We don't really need the side scanning feature, just stsa aight shot at the bottom returning a high resolution picture. But good point - thanks. Airmar B60 confirmed as best choice. $420cdn at Harbour Chandler in Nanaimo, BC. Low profile 600 watts, 50/200 dual frequency 2" hole Comes 0, 12, or...

Thanks to all who responded to my initial inquiries. All responses were very informative and helpful. The main objective is to have a transducer that will supply a high resolution image in order to determine bottom contour and texture. The Airmar B-60 looks good and is reasonably priced. Thanks...

Ok. Well that's good to know. I've never seen a transducer epoxied to the inside of the hull. I assumed that the transducer installation would be similar to others that I've had - drill a hole through the hull, insert the tranducer, bed it and tighten the backing ring on the inside of the hull...

Hi Bacchus, thanks for that too. I'll look for the Monk thread on the builder forum in a few days. Rob

Thanks very much for your thorough response. I was just wanting to jump the gun a bit in order to buy a transducer on Black Friday sale. I see your point however. The location of the transducer must be determined first in order to measure correct dead rise. Thanks again, Rob

Thanks for the response. I'll search facebook. Rob

Monk 36 Transducer Angle We want to install a transducer for a Lowrance HDS-12 on a Monk 36. Does anyone know what the appropriate angle of the transducer should be? Thanks, Rob

Hi, I'm a potential owner of a share in a 1985 Monk 36. There used to be a Monk Owners Group on Yahoo. It appears that Yahoo shut down all groups. Does anyone know if the Monk Association Group has resurfaced elsewhere? Thanks, Rob
