Hi Scrumpy,
I like the look of your dry box too and went chasing a vittles vault.
Btw Drifta its probably too late now with your livewell made, but I found a link on ebay that posts to Australia http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Gamma-Stacka ... e13&_uhb=1
Just wondering if yours is the 40 pound or sixty pound model Scrumpy as the 40 pounder works out $30 cheaper.

Thanks

Great way of mounting your transducer! Wondering if you can shed a little more light on how that was installed? Ive had my DSI transducer glued in the hull of my outback and its not giving the greatest readings. I considered the scupper mount but I use my plug in cart all the time so that wouldnt be an option. Also a while ago there were people who had the "bung"RAM adpators for an external mounting option however from the searches I've done it seems no one is making/selling them anymore. Any additional info would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers
