Cool! So on bottom of boat hull? I hadn't considered that. I guess that would be a good idea. I don't trailer my boat it's drydocked for the winter with a lift trailer. Please take a pic of the ducer mounted if you can. PM me if you can't post it and I'll give you my email. thanks Steve

This was really to get ready for spring and we're almost there. Any advice on using transom mount with my boat? To make matters worse simrad came out with a nice higher rez MFD that will fit but the totalscan transducer is a crazy 10" long. Maybe I should just go with in-hull. More money and no...

Does anyone mount a transducer on transom between twin motors? I think Garmin suggested that to me when I was talking to them. steve

Thanks for all the responses. Thought I was silly for asking but I guess it's better safe than sorry. I'll do the checks next time I get to the boat. steve

Um, duh, I guess I should just pick up the float thing laying there and see if it comes on next time I'm at the boat.

I'd like to upgrade the gps to a garmin 7407xsv on my boat which has twin mag 350's. Fresh water lake mostly < 110' deep. Can the transducer go near center bottom of transom next to drain plug or should I find a thru hull? Not sure what the pitch is and if one ducer is good enough for through...

I purchased a used 2008 300 SLX in the spring. Very good condition and pretty stock. Documentation is pretty slim. No problem wth water, but I'm wondering about the bilge pump. Is it automatic and directly connected to the batteries so I can turn off the power? It seems I usually have to flip...

Thanks for the offer, but I found the cable for 9.95 on ebay with free shipping so I just ordered it. I did make a few calls to see if the j1939 port on the gpsmap could somehow connect to the smartcraft junction box for engine data, but boy is everyone clueless at Searay/Mercury/Garmin. You'd...

My nmea 0183 2008 boat has DTS w/Axial and vesselview. The current chartplotter is not connected to the vesselview. My quick look is the cable connector to the vesselview shows the adapter but no harness attached with the 0183 wires. I'll have to find a harness for that connector to make the...

Yes, I understand. I can find the cable gauge at the amp so I didn't ask about that :-). It's finding the cable with the right fuse at the battery end I'm not sure how to locate. I guess I could power the line and then pull fuses I find near the battery until the line is broken. I'm an EE and...

The rear 4 speaker amp is blown on the premium sound system. I picked up a new one but I'm two hours away. I'll take a bunch of tools with me on saturday, but if there is anything special I need to take please speak up. I"m assuming the amp is behind the panel where the stereo is inside the...

I just purchased a 2008 300 SLX with axius and only about 110 hours on it. Engines are Twin 350MAG. The console has the older vesselview that works fine and to my eye looks ok. To the left of the gauges there is a northstar 550 chartplotter that can feed the axius pilot. The boat is nmea 0183...
