[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 494986, member: 27803"] I ran into problems installing the new Garmin. The way I had to run the transducer cable down the gun wall it was parallel to the power line. I managed to separate them. But then I realized I was running it right next to where all the new electrical was going. Since the fuse block and switch panel wasn’t installed yet I’m moving all the electrical to the other side of the boat so problem solved. Not yet when I was mounting the transducer which is bigger than the Lowrance I had. The stern saver pad was to low and it would have put the transducer to low. It’s only supposed to be 10mm below the boat. With a great idea from LDUBS today I took a flat piece of 1/8” aluminum painted it to look nice and it’s going to be secure mounted to the stern saver and give me the height I need. Back to running wire and new additions. I have everything here now to get it done. Except for the new rod holders I’m getting from Fishbites. I got 5 1/2”threaded bases that mount on round top of the gun wall for side drifting. Later I’ll build the rod rack for the stern and I’ll move the new holders to that. [/QUOTE]
