Nope not normal. My Garmin EchoMap 74 connected to the factory Airmar B60 through hull transducer provides depth readings up until I hit mid 40s. What transducer do you have?

Your boat is a 2004 and the drives have never been off? If that's the case yes you need to pull them and do the bellows, grease the coupler, and check the alignment. Mine is a 2014 with 90 hours on it and I did it last winter. My driveshaft bellow was starting to show it's age so I'm glad I...

I have what you have listed as option 2 and it seems like a good match to the gel on my 2014.

When was the last time the throttle and shift cables were replaced. If it’s be a while probably time for new ones.

It's definitely nice but for a starting price of $115k it should have a head like the 246 SSi it replaced.

I guess IT finally remembered to shutdown the virtual machine it was running on lol

So I used my laptop to convert the iPhone HEIC format to jpg and got an error every time I tried to upload them, but uploading them directly from my phone in HEIC worked fine. Go figure.

Yeah the piano hinge on the Bolt electric tabs have a like 11 screw holds in them. The hing on the Bennett hydraulic tabs have less but use larger screws.

The red lug is the main 12v feed from the main breaker to the breaker box under the helm. The yellow buss to the upper right it the ground buss. There might be a 12v ACC that comes off the key switch you could use. I think that I would get a small round marine switch and find a place somewhere...

Got the picture posting to work.

They still haven't shut it down, but it's nothing but spammers talking to each other and digging up 12 year old threads.

No they mount like normal. The difference in the design is that the sponsons extend past the outdrive mounting point by about 1'. I've tried to post pictures, but this site doesn't seem to like any format I convert them to.

No need to worry about connecting it to the ignition. I used one of my accessory switches for the ignition feed. I bought a new rocker cover for it that says trim tabs. I mounted my relay box under the helm on the left side. There is a 12v positive feed under there that goes to the breaker...

Not on the center section of the transom where the outdrive is. On outer areas of the Extended V-Plane hull where you mount the tabs the transom is just 1/4" or less of glass and on the backside of that glass is the void that's filled with the floatation foam.

So which trim tabs are you trying to install, Bolt electric or hydraulic? I have Bennett Bolts on my 226 SSi and can be of some help. I've also installed the hydraulic ones on a previous boat. You're fine on the drilling of the holes for the tabs. The area you drilled into is foam filled and...
