Paul, Understood. Sometimes we gotta do, what we gotta do ! LOL
I DO want to congratulate you on your wisdom of using the existing Transducer and finding a Sounder that will work. Too often we see here and on other sailing list, folks who worry about using "Mix and Match" gear. It would be great if some expert would write a short article about why it would work. Also why there are two standard frequencies to be aware of. You might do a Calibration test at your moorage before you cruise. There may be a little Off Set because of slight mismatching of parts. If so, there may be an adjustment you can make on the electronics. Best of the Best, ralph From: PAUL Sent: Thursday, January 14, 2010 3:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [IC27A] Re: Electronics mounting at the wheel helm Ralph, This is a good point crew-coordination wise. The problem here is the particular gauge I've found is made to be bracket versus flush mounted. I already have two 4-inch holes drilled in my bulkhead that are used for: a non-working stereo speaker and a plugged vent hole. I really don't prefer to drill/cut any more holes in the back of the cabin than I already have. If I could find a depth display that would both match my transducer and fit in one of the aforementioned holes, I'd be more than happy to mount it up there...
