[Rhodes22-list] Looking for advice-Depth/Fishfinders

[Eaton, Gil]

	Hi Alice,
	Attached are pictures of the Garmin 240 setup on "Closing Time".
The first one shows small numbers on the display, it's the battery voltage
(13.0 I think), depth numbers can be made to use most of the display area.
The second picture is the location of the transom mount transponder, about
6" aft from the foam, 6" starboard from the cockpit drain.
	BTW I found the cockpit drain clogged with barnacles, as well as the
inlet for the "amazing head" and inside the center board pocket.  There was
no visible bottom paint.  I hope to make it through this year, but will
definitely have those areas coated with bottom paint next year.  You might
want to check on your new boat as well, I think it might have been
overlooked on mine.

Gil, thanks for the explanation - I needed that!  I was at West Marine today

scoping out the depth finders - lots of options, lots of money.  Hope you
can 
get your boat in the water this weekend - heard something about rain but, 
what the hey, the water is wet too.  Are you in a marina at Rock Hall or at
a 
creekside slip?
Alice
