I'll second that. Nice place he's got there.

I've ran 4 Traxstech 3" swivels for 4 years and haven't experienced any wobble in any of them yet. I had 13' of track on my little boat and didn't notice any stress issues. I only backed up the tracks that Traxstech recommends (18" and shorter). I now have 12' of track on the big boat but only have a half season on it. The only problems I've had with Traxstech products is that a planer reel cracked and I lost a retaining clip/snap ring on the axle of one adjustable rod holders (I have 12 so one clip on 1 holder isn't bad). In both cases, I called them and they sent out the parts no problem.

It's been sold.

I got a response from TJ Amato from when I emailed him to see if he had any records. He did not have any records but from memory, says: Deck scuppers used 1.5" hose Large (aft) Bilge pumps used 1 1/8" hose small (fwd ) Bilge used 3/4" hose sink drains usually used 5/8" , sometimes 3/4 hose depending which drain assemblies we used

Oh, I was already planning to do stainless. I only want to raise the deck once. I'm going to do any of the hoses that show enough wear too. Now you have me wondering about the sizes I was thinking for the scuppers and bilge thruhulls. I've looked up scuppers online and what I've found is standard sizes are 1 1/2 and 2". Bilge pumps I've looked up are 3/4 or 1 1/8 hose so I thought that would be the size for the thruhulls. Maybe I'm thinking about hose vs fitting size wrong.

I'm planning a project of replacing several of the above water thruhulls on my boat. It's a 1987 288 Predator. I'm wondering if anyone knows what the sizes are for all the thruhulls so I might be able to order them ahead of time instead of stopping in the middle of the project to order parts. 2 deck scuppers 2 starboard midship 1 starboard rear (bilge) 3 port midship (one is bilge) 1 port rear (hatch scuppers) Thanks, Andy

I have had a SS60 on my previous boat and now have a B60 on my current boat. I used a Humminbird 958 on both and have been very pleased. Hank has done both installs. He likes cutting holes in boats... .

If you look on their site they also have the high speed model. Two pack for $250ish. [ Post made via Android ]

I just came across the rear bench seat so that goes with her also. [ Post made via Android ]

Does anybody recognize this man? Saturday morning we were headed across the bay and I lost the water pump on the port motor. I was probably his first call of the day at 6:30. Just 2 hours later we were headed out again with the water pickup blown out and a new impellor. Thanks Pops!! [ Post made via Android ]

They sure do Scott. It also has a full drop curtain and spare prop. [ Post made via Android ]

Pretty much any brand radio will work, Standard Horizon, Uniden, Icom, .... The antenna height and quality have more to do with radio performance, generally. Get a good radio and spend the most you can on a quality antenna. Good luck, Andy

Nope, only Hank...

I saw your pile of electonics boxes in the shop this Spring... [ Post made via Android ]

Going bigger Tim? I just had a survey done by Bob Spencer from the Rochester area. I was very pleased. He is very thorough. His number is (585)259-9527 and his site is www.marinesurveyrochester.com. [ Post made via Android ]

At least on the 900 and 1100 series, you can go in the menu and change the transducer selection to operate the 50/200 transducer. That might be a possibility on your model.

B60 is what some of us have. I never installed the factory transducer so I can't compare the two.
