When installing the transducer you can buy this kit that has a plastic block and some screws. The whole purpose of this is that if you need to move the transducer you don't have to put more holes in your boat. You put the block on with four screws and some adhesive and then you attach the transducer right to that. I have seen both that look like swiss cheese in the back from people moving the transducer all over the place.
Starboard is the brand I chose for that. It works great for mounting a live well pump on too.
My wife thinks, for some reason, that I have gotten smarter in my old age.... Truth be known, I am attending Born Again Boating University! (Thank you for sharing your knowledge!)
4:42 The adhesive they use here is 3M Marine Adhesive Sealant Fast Cure 4200 in case anyone was wondering.
Its always the small details that turn into issues!! Great info!!
If you mount the transducer on the side where the prop goes down, commonly the starboard side in a single engine set up, that transducer will work well over 40 MHP because cavitation is less there.
Thanks for this. Transducer mounting is the biggest pain in the ass.
Man @1:33 I was totally taken back to 1960 something and Bud and Sandy running the ol' twin engine I/O Thunderbird tri hull in search of what message Flipper was trying to relay to them 😆
Getting ready to upgrade my lowrance to Garmin. This is great! Thanks for all your awesome videos! Best boaters youtube channel by far!
Never get in a hurry and forget that second rope 😂
I've owned boats for years and I always learn something from your channel, thanks for that!!!
Great video and detail on sealing up all the holes 👍
Finally understand why that extra rooster tail! Great Work.
I love both my Garmin 94sv units. I believe in redundancy and run one for navigation the other for sonar. Amazing difference from my early 2000 era electronics. I also used a four foot level under the hull to help get my transducer exactly inline with the hull, and not cocked up or down. I hold bottom at any speed.
The deeper you go, the more it matters.👍
Great video!
Fantastic! Love the channel! So ready to get on the water.
Appreciate your videos they’re really helpful for my ongoing work in progress 21’ SeaSwirl Striper DC I’ve saved several of the videos for upcoming projects and have recommended a lot of them to other DIYer’s with questions about their projects thanks again I’m going to need my family to order me a fishing shirt from you and you gotta tell Donny to lighten up and enjoy the knowledge he’s giving lol
Love the info! Thank you.
Very clean work...love it
One of the best great marine channel in the world . Best of luck and thanks 👌🏼👍🏻
A lot of good points in this content, you guys think of everything. Thanks
Clean install, great video!
Another thougt out well explained video, well done!
This video is full of tip and tricks for this installation. Great work. Thanks for sharing.
That's actually a nice gps unit, I run that and a 3010c. Love them. Easy to use. I have an airmar 1kw threw hull transducer.
This is great, I need to do that with my transducers
Nice clean install!
🤔 Attaching to the boat is not a must do. I keep a second transducer on an extension pole. I can change the position to reflect its purpose, and even side scan by rotating the pole. It stores in a rod rack when not in use, has a lighter plug for a 12v receptacle, and/or its own lawn mower battery in an ammo can. I can reach out about ten feet from boat, dock or bank, and even peek underneath the boat using this set-up 🙂 it's portable and backs up the other fixed mount Garmin.
Drift boats have 'special-needs'🙂 Bankies do too.
Amazing as always
Thanks for this information. I learned why my similar Garmin transducer loses signal faster than 28 mph. Wasn't sure it was working right. Great channel.
You're welcome!
Thank you very much man!!
More clips like this! Love it! // Sweden
Good job 👍
Thank you for all informations ! 👍
Good video. I loved that under water fotage. .....💪🏼🤩👍🏼
Another tip is to use a Philip screw driver bit to put a small countersink on the hole so the gel coat is less likely to chip out when running the screw in.
Agree that this is very important. Gel coat is so brittle you will get chip out or spider cracks if you don’t.
Love the uder water footage
That’s the best transducer video I’ve seen. To bad I didn’t see this before attaching mine lol. Better late than never
Wow, thanks!
Awesome! How many people are nervous drilling into a hull or making a cut and it being crooked. I can’t wait to see how my new boat comes out with all the electronics
I just installed a transducer on my boat, but it’s sitting a tad too low and I can’t mount it any higher without drilling new holes... So I messed that up... Sucks
@@ujarneqsrensen8745 been there done that! It does suck!
OK so I always installed them slightly above or online with the underside of the hull simply because at high speeds if the water depth drops off its too late to react anyway. So to prevent any motor problems with air bubbles or even cavitation used a higher position. When you are slow enough to read the depth behind the boat the sender is easily under the waterline.
Love to see a thru the hull transducer installation
Lots of great info. I'm currently boat-less but looking for the right (used) one and I like learning all of the stuff you post because god only knows what I'll need to know later. 👍
Thanks for all you share. 🙂
Glad to help!
Chapman's Seamanship & Small Boat Handling - available used on-line for chump-change - what you need to know to pass the C.G. test 🙂
Thank you. This is great information.
You are so welcome!
Love seeing the ocean master getting worked on! If you need another project when you’re finished, I have a 1990 23 Donzi CC and some cash!
Lol, I've already got two more projects lined up! :/ lol
send it up to west cove, me.
sweet boat, good luck.
love the lesson on dirty water
Easy to understand thank you🤙🏻
Glad to hear that!
What material did you use for the replacement dash that you are mounting the electronics to? Looks like Plywood. Looking for a less expensive alternative to starboard or starlite.
Excellent instructions!
Thank you!
Nice one Aaron
i just installed one on a saf boat last week, same model.
Can't Wait For tuedays
Excellent. This video is right on time. I'm looking to mount my first fish finder on a sailboat this weekend, and I was not sure from the supplied instructions about the transducer mounting specifics such as depth and orientation.
Any suggestions for a sailboat application where heel angle mean that the transducer is seldom aimed straight down underway? The auxiliary outboard is off center - meaning that I can mount it directly on the centerline.
Sailboats can be tricky, youll just have to look at how your hull is and go off the basic general rules about the aerated water :)
What's your opinion on inhull transducers?
I get nervous anytime i think about drilling holes in the transom!
Another great video Aaron👍. Perfect timing, as I was looking at a new Garmin setup. I have a suggestion, how about a video on setting up gages that I have had fixed from GaugeSaver’s. These are mercury 2006 135 verado four stroke and I am having a problem getting them set up. Seems to be reading the engine (rpm, temps and oil pressure) ok, but the other items are not working (gas level, fuel used, distanced traveled etc etc). They looked the same as the ones from your mpg video. Hope you could help out. Thanks 😊 David. Stay safe and happy boating.
Just press the mode and plus button to open the screens and calibration menus. Then select the screens you want. On the fuel, turn on fuel 1 and in how many gallons the tank is, then calibrate it to default!
good quality.
Thank you so much for making these videos. I am an old sailboat guy converting over to powerboats- I have found I love deep sea fishing! I had a question about drilling the holes. I’m sailboats, I was always taught to oversize the holes going into wood, epoxy fill them and re drill using the correct size to prevent core damage from water seeping in over time. Is there any reason that this could not be done as well in poweboating? Thank you for your reply and keep these awesome videos coming !
No, you can do that, it's fine, I wouldn't make the hole too big though. As long as you have the wood sealed, you will be fine.
If at first you don't succeed, so much for skydiving.
Hi your videos are really help me lot to understand my outboard engine. My 2007 F115 yamaha four stroke engine running rough and also when we accelerate it fired through the exhaust like couple of explosion. Do you know why or any reason caused ? Your suggestions really appreciated.
Could be anything! Because it's back firing, check the spark and the timing first
Does the GPS have a gasket around it? Just curious why you don’t put sealant around it too? I haven’t installed anything like that in 20 years so no clue if you do anymore or not.
Yes, there is a gasket, but I usually seal it with sealant too ;) I didn't seal it yet, because I have more work to do to the console and so I pulled it back out and will do the permanent install later.
What kind of product are you using to seal the transducer mount holes? Is it better to place it on the starboard side to get away from the prop walk turbulence?
Using 4200 by 3M, and that depends in lefthand or righthand engines for your prop wash. Or well aerating the water before it gets to the prop. Try to get it at least 12 inch away from the prop. But its not always possible
Great video Aaron! Thats a huge transducer! Bought a boat last week with a Mercathode setup on it, its not hooked up and I'm not gonna hook it up lol. I don't moor at a marina let alone a hot one. Have ever used Sika marine adhesive? I just ordered good ol 5200. Btw that cheap degreaser you use is the bomb! It works good and for a buck who can beat it?
Nice!
I have just installed my Hummingbird transducer inside the bilge with epoxy.The instructions from Hummingbird say it will work provided I have worked all air bubbles out of the epoxy and once glued in it doesn't need water in the bilge to work.I have not yet sea tested it.(fiberglass hull)
Yup, some of those transducers you had to sit them in antifreeze lol
Through hull transducers are the only way!
It is not. Why make another hole in the underwater side of the hull? Just causes more worry and service check. There are fully functional transducers that can be mounted without making holes in below water hull.
Hi sir, can u make a video fix the trim sender for twin outboard. Thank's :)
Trim senders don't really have much of a fix. You just remove and replace them :) they are on the engine bracket.
What is the spray to wipe off the excess 4200 for the transom hole covered by the clamshell
Cheap degreaser, thats a bottle called awesome that comes from the dollar store :)
Are there any type of transducers that are Not installed out side the boat?
Yes, they have in hull transducers that sit in RV antifreeze basically :) check your GPS on what is compatible with it
What brand of cleaning spray are you using?
Its called awesome, we get it at the dollar store :)
Always love you're videos.. any chance you can show us a network cable setup. I have a newer Yamaha and just installed a simrad go12xse and would love to just link it up to my motor.
You'll need the Yamaha gateway to hook up to the NMEA 2K backbone :/
Any chance you know how to enable the bread crumb trail on that plotter? I disabled it inadvertently!
Email me because I can't think of it off the top of my head and this comment will get lost in the comments lol aaron@bornagainboating.com
Garmin transducer installation instructions say to NOT mount the transducer behind a strake. But you did, what do you know that Garmin doesn’t?
Some strakes are pretty narrow or 'triangular'. That one was wider and level with horizontal...
Ah, this described the epoxy question I had on another video. Just brush it in and coat the wood not goober it in there.
Please do a video on grounding, especially the water ground plate bonding and lightning and surge protection.
I hate drilling into my transome😟
Man I wish I had this video 3 months ago , so many holes in transom lol
Jorge Cruz mount a block of king starboard and mount all your transducers and speed pickups to that. Keeps you from having to drill lots of holes in transom and worry about water intrusion.
Could do a segment on how to choice a transducer?
If you want to learn more about transducers. Go to Gemeco.com their online catalog is full of information. While you’re there, get their smartphone app. It’s full of great information and comes with a Magnetometer and tilt meter to find your deadrise.
" how to Install a transducer" a better title?
100
As cool as all this stuff is, I'd rather not drill holes in the in the fiberglass.
too bad the boat place who installed my transducer didnt read the directions or watch this video. my transducer is on an angle, too far into the water and the wire is run behind the transducer against the hull. no more give-a-ways?
That sucks :( not right now, I can't keep up with everything as is right now so had to cut out a couple of things. Until I can get someone or have the time to coordinate with all the companies and the footage and emails and all that went into that, we've had to put that on the side for the time being :(
@@BornAgainBoating appreciate the work you do for these videos, it's not quick or easy. To bad there isn't anyone who can help you
