Re: RTM sounder install

Awesome Idea mate. What did you do with the excess transducer cable. Looks very neat and tidy. Thanks Gozz. I'm thinking about making a decent trolley for the yak by using some aluminium and bending to the shape of the hull for a good fit. Cheap and easy to shape. I've got this thing for the alumin...

Re: RTM sounder install

Works quite well with a few cable ties (best invention those things). The question I had at the start was whether the screws had captive nuts, nuts on the inside or s...
