Bill, Some advice on fishfinders:  do you want to find fish, or know your
depth?  I have a water box under the forward part of the port bunk, just
behind the drawer,  It contains the transducer for my Datamarine depth finder.
This is a fine, dependable instrument. My Pearson Arial had one when I bought
her and the performance was so much better than the "fishfinder" unit I
installed in my Alberg Sea Sprite,  When I bought the A-30 she had a primative
"fishfinder" unit.  In daylight it was almost impossiable to read, even
shading with your hand.  I purchased a new Datamarine unit , useing a water
box.  Only thing is that the water box limits the range.  Every time I cross
Saginaw Bay I go off soundings at about 100 feet.  This does not bother me.  I
only worry aboiut the depth when it's shallow.
Warnings at 4' and 8' are enought for me.  Because of the location, the 4'
alarm means caution.
