Re: Stus-List Transducers protruding
Thanks James Wish I could figure out this board. I can't see my original thread. Picture was too large so I re-submitted smaller but it looks like I'm in the dog house. Too bad cause the crane is coming and I'm running out of time.

Re: Stus-List Transducers protruding
Hi James Thanks for reply. To remove the Echo Sounder Transducer, do I remove the circlip on the top (inside the hull) and yank? Is the transducer housed in a tube of some sort, i.e the blue cylinder we can see in the pic?
