Post subject:  Sidescan Sonar and Wheel Holder

Been working on a few projects the last few weeks.

I've fitted a Humminbird 798ci with a custom transducer mount (side imaging needs 180 deg view under the boat). I was going to fit this on the starboard side but I think it might get tangled up in the ropes over there. The cables need to be moved inside but I'm still thinking about the best way to do that. I was a little reluctant to place the Ram Mount on top of the hull as I transport inverted. However I always position upright then flip once it's in position so I don't think that'll be an issue.

I've also painted my storage crate to match the hull color and added a storage place for the wheels. May still need some tweeks if it turns out too high for the main sheet and sail.

Hopefully do some sea trials next weekend and then iron out any problems.

Is this com'n with you at the weekend. If so, look forward to seing it.

It's about the same size as my microwave. Does it cook snags ?

Yep, first sea trials this Saturday. Hopefully it works :wink:

Not really game to stuff a snag into the SD card slot. Might mistake it for some weird map rather than cook it.
