    2 MDI Transducers, 1 head unit???

    I thought i deleted the original one. The original postings forum section was dead. And i believe you know what I mean.

    07 Tohatsu 3.5 4stroke...overheating?

    I did in fact take that into account. I had a nice cool water supply running into the bucket to offset any heated water and/or exhaust below the waterline. Ill look into getting a flush plug adaptor. Wish I had a local dealer... Thanks for your commentary.
