Finally got into fitting my new Lowrance gear this weekend.Ive removed the old sounder and cables.
The new sounder is fitted,I have run the cables.All thats left is to fit the new transducers,connect the power wires and put the dash back together/tidy the wiring up.
A few pics.

I used a RAM mount to fit the unit.

Fuel flow sensor so I can use the HDS trip computer.

A bit more progress,the electricity was introduced today,all good,no burning smell:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:
The only issue,the dash fuel gauge now reads 3/4 full for some reason,the tank is empty at the moment.The sounder is wired into independant power,not the boats factory wiring.
A few pics in demo mode.

Going through a similar refit of my boat at the moment Andy and trying to convince the minister of war, finance and recreation that I need a HDS-9.
Currently, I'm doing a full rewire, as the previous owner should be banned from touching wire and crimp connectors for the remainder of his life - :eek:
So far, we have the drum winch installed (that was fun), LED deck lighting is partially installed (starboard side to go), new stereo system fitted, rocket launchers on.
I'm wiring up a new switch block, I've run new cabling throughout and replaced all the Nav lights with LED versions.
Ordered and awaiting delivery of all the new fuel lines, priming bulbs etc.
Also got myself a shiny new Deck Wash Kit which will be making its way into the boat tonight... Should be handy...
I've done some glass work too, repairing years of chipping etc that a Glass boat suffers - It'll do for now, as the plan is to fully refurb this boat in the next few years...
At the moment it looks pretty messy onboard - but will be on the water in the next couple of weeks :cool:
I was ready to scuttle my boat when we got back to the boat ramp yesterday:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Story to follow in the next few days when Im back home.At least we didnt get towed in!!!!!
Andrew
Know that feeling of frustration oh so well.
But managed to get in under our own power each time...
And here I was checking in to get a fishing status update from Andrew... Sounds like you had a bit of fun and games...
Yep:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I've been doing some work on my old girl. Was hoping I'd get to have a few runs in her this summer.

On a motor that's God only knows how old, maybe I should just get another motor :(
Will do some sums and see.
