    Transducer mounted on the wrong side of prop... change?

    Just for curiosity sake, here is a picture of the transducer connector that goes to the unit... :shock: :shock: :shock: I'll be working on sealing up this hole. Here are some pics of the wood from the other side.. I would like to get ALL of this sealed up. Any suggestions for the inside...

    Transducer mounted on the wrong side of prop... change?

    Yeah, that hole is huge... the connection on the wire where it would connect to the unit is large and would have needed a hole that size... it was a Garmin unit, not sure of the age.

    :cry: I took the prop off this evening and noticed a couple of things right off the bat. First, the prop has some significant play?.. I am able to move the prop forward and backward along the shaft about 1/2 in either direction. I didn't even need a socket to turn the nut when I took it off...

    Transducer mounted on the wrong side of prop... change?

    I recently purchased a 16' jon boat which didn't come with any marine electronics. However, one of the previous owners had at one point had a Garmin installed. The transducer and wire are still in place, but they are mounted on the wrong side. With there already being a pretty generous hole...

    Drained the lower unit oil.. it came out kind of an olive color? No water leaked out of the drain plug when I opened it. It doesn't appear to be cloudy white.. hoping this is just old oil. I will be replacing the plug washers and refilling.

    I removed both spark plugs and did a compression test this evening.. got a reading of 110# on one cylinder and 111-112# on the second. While those numbers look good to me, I am not sure if it is common for the cylinders to read that close together, or if that may indicate an issue. Any...

    All I can say is wow! This information is fantastic! Thank you so much! I have been on the Leeroys Ramblings website and read a bunch of those articles, if not all of them. The side idle adjustment knob on this motor was broken when I got it.. I just removed the broken parts and have set them...

    Lastest pics Fuel screen looks pretty clean, but the plugs not so much. I will be replacing the plugs toward the end after the carbon clean. Also noticed that the rubber fuel hose was held on by zip ties. That can't be normal right?
