Furuno 1623 should fit the bill.

Toyman, Word is that the bottom hole assembly was across the BOP's at the time of blow out.

I'm running same set-up. 25' with 150 honda. I went from an aluminum Honda 15.25 x 15 to a 15 5/8 x 13 stainless solas prop. I could only turn the aluminum prop up to 5400 rpm's. The solas I can spin up to 5900 rpm's. I burnt 10 gallons less on same trip running the solas vs the honda. Boat...

Transducer plates and Airmar TM 260

Sounds like it's the Furuno...... Thanks Guys.

After much soul searching and internet searching, I've decided to break down and install a radar unit. I've been caught in the soup a handful of times and would feel better knowing where everyone else is. I don't leave the harbor if I don't have decent visibility, but there are times when it...

I run my wallas with the lid up at night all the time. No problems.. Crack a couple of windows and everything stays dry. :D I set the power setting around 2.

I give a thumbs up to the toyo marine heater made by toyotomi. I installed one in a previous boat. It is a forced air unit and worked really well. Never had one hiccup with it. Convinced two fishing buddies to install in their boats after going out with me in early spring. It is also thermostat...

Rick, I ran a Flowscan meter on a previous boat with a F150 yamaha. Worked fine and was very accurate. The only problem I found was sometimes the GPS and Fuel meter didn't want to communicate for MPG. Fred, I agree. On trips I figure 2.5 mpg. I've gotten upwards of 2.8 and on occassions have...

I've got the Honda (smart gauge?) it gives gph, mpg, total burned, etc. It is wired into the cpu of the motor, which I think is a little more accurate and less problematic than a turbine wheel that is used by a lot of the other fuel meter manufactures. (I've owned both types). My current set-up...

Thataway, I'm running a Garmin 4208 with an airmar P66. I believe the P66 is only rated for 500 or 600 watts. I tend to lose bottom in deeper water. The reason to go with a 1000 watt transducer.

I need to replace my old one and wanted to go with a little more wattage. I'm looking at the Airmar TM260. Anyone running one of these?

Some good news. Report says they only lost 100 gallons of diesel. If that's the case it should be about gone by now. Surprizes me the liberal media isn't measuring it in pints. It would make a better story.

As DD says... go with plastic for drinking water. Less chance of getting Alzheimers from drinking out of aluminum. Aluminum fuel tanks are pretty much standard in boats. The question was asked "why aluminum?" Pros Aluminum is lighter Tougher. (Banging into the dock, loading on trailer...

I have a 9.9 Honda kicker for trolling. It is tied to my 150 like a twin set-up. Remote steering, remote start, power trim and tilt. On occasions I wish it had a tiller. If it werent' for trolling (which I do a lot of) I would have went with twin 90's. I don't consider it a good "get home motor"...

HunkyDory, Don't let any of these rough water stories antagonize you. The Sound is pretty much calm during the summer. Yes there are lows that can blow thru, but for the most part it's good boating. (The rough water is in Passage Canal from all the boat traffic). You will have to deal with...

I run a 15.5 x 13 on my 25. Works out well. You need the larger diameter to push a heavy load. Just completed a 1131 mile trip on the Yukon River in Western Alaska dealing with rough water, sand bars and fuel availabilty, among other things....... so no I'm not particularly interersted in a...

I switched over to nylocs years ago. Use a flat washer underneath and have never had a problem. Most of my boating buddies have done the same. I had issues with wing nuts getting loose.

I sent an e-mail and pictures to the factory about this as I had the same problem. As expected, no reply. I'll keep a watch on the brackets and if they start to crack again I'll fabricate a new type out of aluminum.

I suggest you overdrill your mounting holes and pot with epoxy and add a backing plate under windlass.
