That's quite a transformation! I will be taking a simpler route-I hope! :cool:

I missed something. Could you explain??

That sounds like an interesting, simple approach, but I'll need to get some measurements to see how it might fit; I'm inclined to think it might be too tall. The unit comes with a mount that is flat on the bottom, which would rest upon the slight curvature of the shelf where the compass sits...

I'm on the hunt for a fabricator. This will take place during the offseason, of course. ;) I appreciate your insights! (y)(y)

This is what my console looks like. I wish I could find a fabricator that could remove the instrument panel and insert a flat panel to maybe flush-mount the NSX, and possibly some other gauges, USB ports, devices, etc.

Sorry, I found out that Mercury and Lenco products are related to trim control. I'm trying to figure out a new helm console configuration. My unit is an NSX 9". It looks like I'm trying to fit a square peg in a round hole!!! :cautious: It looks like you're pretty skilled at fabrications! (y)(y)

I'm not familiar with Mercury auto trim, Lenco auto glide. Could you provide detail?

That looks great! Is that custom? What year is your 264?

Just following up on this install... Does anyone have any suggestions for positioning of the transducer on the transom? I want to install the Simrad NSX 9" on the console, but getting a good base for the unit looks challenging! This looks like it will be a real one-off kind of installation...

Hello, all, I think I have this mostly figured out, but I'd like some suggestions on the installation of the transducer (for the sonar). Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Dan

Hello, all, I would like to explore the possibilities of using a Simrad NXS along with the NMEA 2000 network. I really like what this system can do (depth finder, engine data, charting, etc.), but I don't fully understand how to put all of this together. What things need to be incorporated to...

Hello, all, I'm looking for a replacement for my windshield for my 2004 Sunesta 252. It's plexiglass, but has numerous microfractures that make it look very old. The part # is: 10824202. I talked to Cecil Marine and they don't have it. It was suggested to go to a custom shop. A Google search...

Denny, Thanks for for follow-up! :cool:

Hello, all, I will be winterizing my Merc Mag 350 (2004 Sunesta 252) soon, but may not be able to get it to the shop as soon as I would like. I'm in Grapevine,TX (near Dallas/FW). Although it usually doesn't freeze hard in November or most of December, it's not a chance I like to take...

Hello, all, Just started the season with a short run on the lake. I couldn't get the stereo working, due to no power to the unit. I suspect a fuse or breaker as the culprit, but I can't rule out a loose wire, due to having some major work, and summerizeing done recently during the off-season...

Hi, Iggy, Being a '50 ton master', you're at a different level of boating than me! I will definitely plan on a taking a USCG course; it's been a long time since I did. I was thinking that VHF and GPS would be part of my equipment, if not Ham radio and/or short wave to boot. Maybe a Sat phone...

I've only taken my boats into fresh water/inland lakes and rivers. In the future, I plan on having my Sunesta 252/Bravo 3 in saltwater (Destin, FL), hopefully cruising inland waterways, etc. What sort of challenges are ahead for the engine/outdrive? Routine flushing after use? Re-configuring...

I finally got the cylinder off by removing the forward nut and washer. Unfortunately, it didn't just slip off; it required a surprising amount of prying with a tool against a slim piece of wood, against the driveshaft housing, taking care not to scratch the finish. Time ran out, so I haven't...

Wingnut, Thanks for your feedback. I did rest the outdrive on a block of wood while I was attempting to remove the cylinder, but it didn't make any difference. It seemed to be jammed in place. Would you recommend trying to remove the cylinder from the 'forward pin' first?

Just a little update... I received the trim cylinder, removed the appropriate nuts and washers, and I could not get the trim cylinders loose. They seem to be binding in place. I even tapped on the pin from the opposite side, but no luck. As usual, this is not as straightforward as I thought...
