[Rhodes22-list] Boat Equipment

[Ellner]

I bought a Humminbird 537 fishlocator/GPS. I have been told that I 
can epoxy the skimmer transducer, instead of buying a puck style 
transducer, through the hull without any problem. Some Ranger boat 
owners have done it that way and have told me that it works fine.
I like to fish and while fishing I am facing the stern . I am 
thinking of a rail mount on the stern rail.
Ithink it was the Nov or Dec "Trailer Sailer "or "Good Ole Boat" Had 
a good article about installing a fishlocator GPS.At 10:51 AM
