That could have been I. About three years ago, I installed a new transducer on the inside of a only slightly curved part of the hull at a point where it's about 1 to 2 feet below the waterline. Used something called 'GE Silicone II'. It's a white sticky goo in a 100g tube.

I had to tie up my boat in Winston and find a pay-phone to make an urgent call home. Yes, I know, the coast guard would have patched me through via VHF - for a not unsignificant price - but it wasn't that urgent ($$$) a call. ;-) George of Scaramouche1, Lake Ontario, Canada

It's not just a question of expense (you may have noticed that I did in fact use Blue Sea equipment on my entire DC system). The Square D panels are much better for surface-mount wiring. Plus, it's much easier to install strain reliefs. I reiterate my recommendation. For a small AC panel, I would put in a Square D.

I suggest you are being short changed.
