for those of you who can remember back to when i installed my GPS on my boat, you will know i am no wiss with the electronics on a boat ::) :-[

but today changed that sort of. i installed my first sounder on the boat. there are still a few minor things to do before it is ready for use like powering it up, but the transducer and the mounting bracket are in place ;D

in took about 7 hrs to achieve these 2 succesful outcomes. :P

with a bit of luck this new sounder will see the start of many more succesful offshore fishing trips.

cheers phil
