Third foggy morning in March, Spanish Mackerel will be here
We went yesterday, kind of a shakedown cruise, so I m with you on getting ready.

You planing on flush mounting the Hummingbird? I had a flush mounted furuno on my V and didn t like it. Hard to see most of the time , seemed to always be washed out by sun when rounding up on spots. I m sure when they designed the dash layout in 1983, they no idea of the electronics that would be put on these boats.

Great to see you getting ready Ferm... Hope that's a sign you're on the mend.

Nope, not on the mend. Fooled around and hurt my back, so this weekend was a wash. I'm just at the point of either I use it, or sell it. I'm not flush mounting it, for now I'm going to just use the mount for it.

Some say you can't feel a picture, but I beg to differ. I HATE doing fiberglass work. My transom is curved except for a small spot in the middle where the outboard mounts, since I'm switching to side imaging sonar, I figured I better get a pad that is flat to the transom so the side imaging will be accurate. So I'm using some gel paste I had left over to build up a pad to mount the transducer to. But I really do not miss the fiberglass itch. Once it cures, I can sand it down to a flat pad that is even, and then I can put a coat of gel coat over it since this paste is purple, and no matter what you do, you cannot get a decent off white coloring with it.

Getting close. Here's a before and after of my console. Before I couldn't see SQUAT while sitting down on plane which isn't a problem to most, but my back don't let me stand much anymore. Went ahead and decided to flush mount everything. Cleaned my console up considerably.
