The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
True but it was rarely used and on different waters. The lake I'm on is not very deep, actually a river and since this will be used for skiing, I'd like to be sure of enough water under her.

Great info, thanks! From what I've read, I will need to sand a smooth spot glue the transducer. Do they work as well as a transom mounted one or is a transom mounted still the best bet?
Scott,
Thanks for the reply. I wasn't expecting that there would be a transducer already installed. I was just wondering if they prepped the hull for a shoot thru or how they had done it since the similar boats I have seen do not seem to have a transducer mounted to the transom. Guess I'm...
Recently acquired a PRISTINE 2001 190XL. The dash panel has a blank for what I assume is a depth gauge. I would like to add one and as such, have seen several videos of 190XL's with depth gauges but no apparent transducer on the transom. Does anyone know if Stingray used a glued on transducer...
Nope. The OEM seals are single lip seals. That's the way the seals were in the origainal pump as well. No double lips. You can see in the picture the new, OEM pump seal. The bore appears much smaller than the clearance hole through the steel housing because the seal surface is so long.
I think you're right about the impellers but that's not a big deal to replace. In my case, it had been so long since the engine had been run, I wanted to "reseal" the lower unit, thus the new seal required for the water pump. I ordered a replacement pump and it LOOKED like the seal was...
Well, by way of closing this thread out in case someone elese ever needs the information, since I received no responses to my question, I ordered a complete, original Mercury (Quicksilver) water pump. I figured that way, I'd know FOR SURE how the seal was supposed to be installed. The OEM pump...
I'm working on a '71, 9.8. Naturally the impeller was bad so I thought I'd just replace the whole pump. The replacement arrived and the bottom housing seal is installed upside down, that is to say the lip is pointing OUT. I know the TOP seal is installed this way but on my original pump, the...
