Most boats that are 20 feet or less used 1/2 inch plywood. When you remove the old floor , you should be able to see what is there. If you use thicker plywood , make sure your side panels still fit.

Thank you Andre.

dbitting , When you installed your CABLE-STEER A/P - What did you do with the electrical cord which is wired to the VRF sensor on the Helm -1. After you lined up the dots on the sensor,. Did you plug it into the NAC-1 or just leave it unconnected ? Thank you

Thank you, Andre. I would be interested if you find out anything else. Jack

I recently purchased A Lowrance Cable steer A/P new . It will be run with a Gen 2 HDS .Unlike the captioned schematic,the installation instructions which came with my unit did not show the Rudder Feedback cable being plugged into the NAC-1 or anything else. I contacted Lowrance tech service and was told nothing plugs into the feedback port on Lowrance units which doesn't seem to make sense. I have asked them to confirm or clarify this info, but have not heard back from them. Does anyone know if this is correct ? Thanks.

The auto pilot is still available.

Complete working Auto Pilot for cable steer boat. Purchased new five years ago. The auto pilot system has worked very well, but made the conventional steering quite stiff when the A/P was either "off" or in " standby" mode. I recently replaced the boat's rack and pinion cable steer system with hydraulic steering and cannot use the Sport Pilot. $ 650.00 shipped

I would like 16 Black without the leader, if you have them. Please confirm price and Paypal address. Thanks, Jack

lrg355 , Thanks for your input. Jack

Hi, I have been looking at some 25 HP outboards and am interested in Yamaha due to its new feature of Variable trolling speed (VTS) which allows adjustment of as little as 10 rpm at a time. Has anyone used the Yamaha with this feature and,if so, how well did it work ? Thanks, Jack

I roll them a little loose and the store each of them in the leg portions of old blue jeans that have been cut off. Has worked great for years. Do not store wet !

Looks like two separate issues. Depending on the scale you are using on the MFD , the digital depth reading could easily vary from the depth scale on the side of the graph. Try changing you max depth on the MFD to something closer to the depth of the ball. The variance on the rigger readout could simply be a wrong reading on the rigger's counter. As an example, when the springs which drive the counter on my BIG JON riggers get worn and weak they slip, especially if you run the rigger down fast. Try marking the cable at various measured points and see if they match up with the rigger's counter. The same sort of thing often happens with counter fishing reels if you reel them in too fast.

Verify that the head unit has power and is working. When hooked into your 12 volt supply, you should see a small black dot or decimal point in the lower digital screen which would show the temp if a working probe were attached. No "dot" means no power or a bad head unit. If the head is working , follow the advice above to check out the probe..

Try oceandynamics.com . They are in florida, but do a lot of customwork including glass on boats. They were able to help me with a vent window frame extrusion for a 1986 Sylvan. Jack

When attaching the " stub" to the drive unit be sure to line up the small indent on the stub with the one on the drive unit. this assures alignment of the tapped screw holes. Also torque the screws per the instructions and use a small amount of temporary ' threadlock'. I also use anti seize lube on the drive stems so that you don't have to beat up the drive unit if you have to remove it. Maintaining a heading at slow speed in rough water is difficult if you are trying to use a kicker motor. The unit just works too hard, like you would if you were manually steering. Switch over to your main motor and use a drift bag if necessary. Other than making the steering stiffer, the SPX 5-R units generally work pretty well. I have had one for six years.
