Hi-
I want to mount a depth gauge on my Yamaha jet ski and hope some one can give me some guidance on where to position the transducer. I would like to put the ducer in the engine compartment, but will it transmit through the hull? Perhaps it should be attached to the stern - near the hull drains.
Other issues:
Where to pick up the 12 vdc is also an issue because I would like it to operate only when the engine is running.
Position of the 2" gauge face is also an issue as Yamaha does not have much of a dash board to drill. Perhaps a nacelle mount ?
The jet ski is a Yamaha SUV, four passenger, 1999 vintage with a 1200 cc - 3 cylinder engine.
Also have you done an install on a jet ski before and were you satisfied with the result??
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !
