michaelrdoyle@gmail.com Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Hi Elite I have no idea of the cost of having it installed - but it's not too hard to do it yourself. I did it a couple of years ago, and I'm hopeless when it comes to mechanical stuff. Mount the fishfinder on the dash, mount the transducer on the back of the boat, run the cable from the transducer to the fishfinder, run the power cable to your fusebox. Measure twice, drill once. With luck you'll be able to use the old fishfinders fittings or screwholes. Doing it also helped me get a better overview of how everything in the boat works, which has given me much more confidence with fixing and fiddling with stuff. Even installed my own live bait pump.
