I have the same setup with a 5.7 L and a T9.9 Used the extra outlet on my fuel filter and have had no problems. I did install a valve at the filter for the kicker but have used it only for servicing the filter. The primer bulb has a check valve in it and should be installed near the kicker. You should use USCG A1-E15 fuel line inside the motor compartment from the filter to the primer bulb. The fuel line that comes with the bulb is probably not rated for inside the motor compartment Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I went with a TR1 Gold for my kicker because: 1- My PY has power assisted cable steering - If main is not running there is no power steering 2- Not enough room behind helm to install rotary cable drive unit 3- Did not want to listen to a rotary drive unit all day and had concerns about it's durability over time 4- Did not intend to use AP on main motor - just for trolling 5- Best alternative option was to convert steering to hydraulic and install a hydraulic AP on main and use an EZ steer to connect kicker - higher overall cost I've been very happy with the TR1 and believe it is why I can get away with a T9.9 kicker motor on a 25' boat. It is extremely reactive and helps the kicker hold it's course in some challenging conditions - wind, waves, currents. It is quiet and so far ,5 years, no problems. If the conditions get too rough for the kicker alone I just start up the main motor, drop in a couple trolling bags and still use the kicker and TR1 to steer and fine tune my speed. If my PY already had hydraulic steering I probably would have gone with a hydraulic AP on the main motor Hope this helps

On my Penn Yan there was more room inside the transom for a backing plate on the port side since the power steering, trim motor, fuse box and the electrical switch were mounted on the starboard side. Whichever side you mount it on try to keep it as close to the center line as possible without interfering with your I/O

Try SEI - all their drives come with a 3 yr no-fault warranty I know a charter captain who put a new one on his boat and forgot to put gear oil in, drive lasted 10 hours without oil and SEI still replaced it. https://www.sterndrive.cc/Alpha-One-Gen-I.html

I am assuming that when you refer to a x400 you really mean a Fish Hawk X4 or X4D ? I run an Airmar B60 50/200, which is the thru hull version of the P66, and a X4 together on my boat and have never seen any interference between them. I'm usually running both 50 and 200 kHz on a split screen. I also have a Lowrance 83/200kHz transducer that is mounted only 5" away from the Fish Hawk and I will occasionally run it at 83kHz with no problems. I will see cross talk interference on my HDS units if I run both transducers at 200khz together but still not have any problems with the Fish Hawk. I do have the Fish Hawk transducer mounted higher on the transom than the 83/200 so that it is a little above the bottom of the boat and it is not causing turbulence when I'm on plane

If it's from NOAA - double it If it's from a fisherman's report - cut it in half

I used 30's for my wire divers for a couple years and was never comfortable with the line counter on my wrist. I tried a couple 40's set up with 300yds of 30lb Sea Flea for my riggers and found the line counter was high enough that it didn't bother my wrist. Last year I spooled up a couple more 40's with some backing and 30lb wire and started using my 30's for 20lb wire. It seems everybody on my boat prefers the 40's. The gear ratio's aren't that much different but the 30's pickup 35" of line while the 40's are 47.2" due to the larger spool diameter. Both reels are real smooth and it comes down to a personal preference. Still like the old Sealine LCA's with the line counter on top

I'll take the dipsy wraps if they're not already sold Let me know

Aw, Hank gets all the fun

That's the one, you would also need the 9 pin to 7 pin cable adapter to connect it to your HDS. This is fun spending someone else's money, can I also come drill some holes in your new boat?

If you have any $ left over look at a Navico Xsonic TM150m transducer. With a Gen-3 this will give you medium chirp for about $300. With an ethernet network you can share transducers between your units. I'm adding one this year to go along with my B-60 50/200 thru hull, I think Wallyandre already has one, maybe he'll give us a review.

I'd also go with the Gen3 and if I had a couple grand in my budget I'd get 2 of them instead of the carbon, one for sonar and the other for charts/radar. Much easier to see a full screen from the back of the boat than having a split screen.

Sounds like common sense gained from a lifetime of working with a barn full of females, much lacking in today's world

Don't forget you will also need to set up a nema 2000 network You'll need a starter kit, some tees and cable - approx. $100 https://www.hodgesmarine.com/searchresults.asp?searching=Y&sort=5&search=starter kit &show=30&page=1

I'm no electronic expert so I had to learn the hard way, you need a heading sensor connected to a HDS to overlay radar on your chart. HDS unit have both NMEA 0183 and NMEA2000 networking. I would look at getting a Point 1 antennae which has a heading sensor built in and hook it up to a nmea 2000 network. This would probably improve your GPS at the same time and is also the least expensive heading sensor. I used a Simrad RC42 heading sensor before Lowrance came out with the Point 1 and it wasn't cheap but having the overlay makes your radar much easier to interpert and saves screen space on your HDS. I'm sure Hank can help you out with setting this up. If you want to see one in action I'll be slipped at Arney's sometime around mid April.
