Wing Tip came with a 3 instrument NAVPOD and I changed it out for the 4 instrument pod and when that was not enough I hung a custom 5 POD.

One of my more harrowing moments sailing occurred when our son came up out of the cabin and killed (turned - off) the loran just as lighting stuck behind us, we started crossing shipping channels on SF Bay, followed by being whited out moments later. Turns out all the DR practice I'd done came in very handy. Based on stuff getting knocked I tend not to put the instruments I need anywhere but at the wheel. The nav station below has position readout on the DSC VHF, ship clock & barometer but that's it.

The boat I recently purchased has a through-hull depth-sounding transducer but no depth gauge. I've found one at a local boat electronics store that works with the transducer when powered. I think I can find a bracket to mount it on the guard above the binnacle compass. Need some wisdom on running the wires from there to the fuze box and transducer. Will I have to drill a hole in the pedestal or is there another way? Thanks! Paul [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
