I installed this sensor in a previous boat and had it mounted at about a 15 degree angle. The problem I had was the sensor wheel in the device began sticking and giving erratic readings after one season. Garmin replaced the first one. The following season the same thing happened, and I didn't...

Welcome aboard Jeff. The CSR Forum has been a big help to me and I'm sure it will be to you as well. Pat

Thanks, mine is shot, think I'll give it a try.

A lot of motorcyclist use their horns. Did you have any difficulty mounting it?

My boat had a Perko Flush device installed in the raw water pump intake line when I bought it. It works fine but does not flush the outdrive. If you can hook-up muffs, that would be best and cheapest in my opinion. Make sure you check your anodes on the outdrive. They may be fresh water anodes...

Hey Dave-M, Yes that would be pretty drastic, but so would carrying bolt cutters on board. Think I'll stick with 30' of chain and hope for the best. BTW, I haven't heard "tighter than Dick's hatband" since my Dad passed in 1982. Thanks for the memory!

Excellent point boatrboy. On my 2004, SR hid the fuse for my Mercathode behind the DC breaker panel and my Mercathode controller had fried itself. The replacement unit I bought came with a 5 amp fuse, however SR used a 20a fuse for original equipment that never blew. I installed a 5a...

Thanks, agree with all the above.

My current anchor is a 13# Danforth which is too light. Parts list shows original equipment was a 25# plow. Thinking of replacing my anchor with a 22# Delta. Any advice? What do you have? Boating area is coastal LI Sound.

Thanks Joe, I thought that was the case but have had no response from my recent attempt. Maybe taking a break from the computer.

I have seen FB work well if a '"group" is limited in scope. If it is too diverse, it will generally get out of control pretty quick. CSR is a huge Forum, lots of boat models, lots of cruising areas, lots of owners, etc. and it functions pretty good in my opinion. A wealth of information and...

Interested in Hoover Press-N-Snap Tool complete Kit. No response to PM (I may not have done it right).

Thanks Brad, Appreciate the info. Pat

I've got to have mine replaced as well this spring. Just curious what kind of price range they quoted you? Pat
