    Have enough HP for hole-shot ?

    You are better to have power and not need it, than to need it and not have it I would never own a boat that wasn't at least 75% off the maximum HP for the hull

    Fuel Water Separator

    “Cloudy” gas has not separated....otherwise it wouldn’t be cloudy and you would see three distinct layers on the bottom of the glass E10 can carry up to 0.05% water by volume before separation and still be a perfectly viable fuel. In my area, your fuel can look like that in a week or two in the...

    Bone headed move - put the plug in with 3M 4200

    You have more going on than just the sealant. There isn’t a sealer on the market that would withstand the force of an impact gun. Having said that, the plugs are tapered, dry seal connections. They should be “snug”, but not tight. Over tightening will gull (distort and damage) the threads...

    Tachometer Install

    You don’t say which motor, but if it’s a fuel injected engine the “tach module” is an induction sensor. Replaces the functionality of a distributor in the timing of the motor.

    Voltage rectifier

    interesting observation given that most the components are made in China or Taiwan to begin with. Must keep special stock of “quality parts” they ship for OEM parts manufacturers….lol

    In operation, the clear bowl is full of fuel. Any water will separate and fall to the bottom of the bowl to be drained

    Wobble roller placement

    Here is a picture on mine sitting on my previous trailer. Have since gone to a drive-on aluminum trailer Note that the rear roller bunks are wider that the front bunks do to the hull design

    Wobble roller placement

    Ideally, you want the roller bunks as wide as possible for stability with rollers sitting on, or close proximity to the stringers.

    It doesn't......use an A/B switch. The B60 is better at high speed and has better bottom discrimination. Switch over to the GT-51M transdcuer for CHIRP and side scan functionality

    Went with the B60 thru hull back in my Furuno days for the 45 degree cone angle. Switched to Garmin CHIRP with side scan when it came out. The CHIRP unit supports the B60 so I left it. Less interference than the transom mount GT-51M when running

    Water in my lenses

    I too played the game with "Diving bell" lights before LED came out. Later versions even came out with the bulbs sealed in a seperated, plastic housing that fit inside the outer housing, Replaced the entire module when the bulb burned out. I believe the lights I had where Peterson and or...

    You should be fine. Have you seen the size of the comparable TM260 transducer? Similar in size to a "paving brick" hanging off the transom. Know a couple of guys that tried route when they first came out... no thanks

    99 Bayliner Trophy 22 foot top speed

    Comparing pumpkins to apples. A 140hp I/O on my 22’ (280 hp max) would have a tough time even getting it on plane

    Water in my lenses

    Unless hermetically sealed, the inside of the lamp assembly is at atmospheric pressure. Submerging the housing below the water line increases pressure on the inside of the housing. With outside pressure exceeding that of the inside, you end up with the Manneken Pis….,,,in you housing.

    Battery charger recommendation for winter

    Don't own a trickle charger.....never have. Can live with the 4-5% self discharge in the 3-4 months the equipment sits idle. Charge the batteries up when I back the boat into the barn in December. Throw the charger on them the day before Spring start-up. Use the same procedure for all the LA...

    The picture is missing a reference to the center line. Is that "1" ahead" referencing the center lines of the two or their circumferences? Considering it's a B series transducer, you could move it further off center line to give a bit more separation?

    Airmar B175 Transducer Installation

    You can put an intake on center line with a single engine installation but you run the risk of prop cavitation. In my case, I have two water intakes, a thru hull transducer and a side scan transducer mounted on the transom. On top of that, had to make sure they all cleared the support...
