    Transducer?

    I think you're stuck pulling the unit - could be the transducer or the head unit that's causing the issue...that's why they want them both. I'm out of ideas.

    Transducer?

    1: Is it sharing the battery with the TM for power? If so, you need to put a filter on the power-leads - RF interference can cause those issues. 2: Is the Transducer cable running near any un-shielded wires between it's mounting location and the head unit? That can also cause issues.

    '80s (?) Alumacraft 14' conversion

    Just remember one thing about the CV - while the 2-D does send/receive in a cone so it shows things ahead and behind, the down-view is just a slice of that cone directly below and slightly to the sides of the transducer - like you took a triangular sheet of glass and dropped it point up in the...

    Editing a Post

    Bass Resource is one I've been on for a few years - their software is different, but one way to add photos is just cut-n-paste. Their quoting system is a little more versatile as well...highlight the part you want to quote and a box appears with 'Quote Selection'...and that's all you get. It...

    14 Alumacraft Grandfather Grandson Mod project

    I'm with LDUBS - Spar Urethane that wood before anything else. You can paint over that, but you need to seal it to keep it from rotting...paint alone isn't going to do the job.

    14 Alumacraft Grandfather Grandson Mod project

    I still think that's an F-9 with the 20" transom...making it look good for a 2-person boat with quick work.

    Seat recommendations

    I knew the Mirrocraft - but you hadn't stated it was a 14' in the original post. I'd stick with Minn Kota for a brand if you're going transom mount. A 45# should be enough - that's what I'm putting on the 14' Alumacraft F-9 I'm rebuilding.

    Question is - what size is the boat...that'll determine how much of a TM you need.

    Seat recommendations

    For the canoe - no pedestal, but yes, with the spring. This pic you can see the base under the seat. I replaced the original plastic seats in the canoe with 2"x2" aluminum angle with 2"x12" sealed and painted wood across them. I routed the wood so that the base was inset flush. Angle used the...

    Seat recommendations

    This is the base/seat mount I used in the canoe (my last project), and the base/pedestal/seat mount I'm using in the F-9. I use Wise seats myself.

    Rock n' Roll time - Big snow coming!

    It's forecasts like that which remind me of what life was like back in Worcester. We rarely deal with snow-falls over a foot - it's just the cold. But really - because it's drier here - 10 below here doesn't feel as bad as 10 above out there....cause it's always humid there because of the...

    OEM vs ?

    Even when I had a new truck, I never took it to the dealer for general service. Ran 'after market' filters with no issues. Had that truck for 18 years until some moron coming the other way decided to make a left turn crossing in front of me on slick roads...even my anti-lock brakes didn't...

    1972 Alumacraft F-9 Lake Master

    If you look at the stern end of the floor framing, you'll see where I'm leaving open. The center channel for both water drainage and routing of electrical lines and the livewell tubing. The areas covered at the stern and bow ends by Styrofoam will be filled in. I'm pouring from 'the top' so I...

    1972 Alumacraft F-9 Lake Master

    Still waiting for at least a bit of a warmup before pouring foam. Neighbor lent me a propane heater, I've got a duct with a fan to exhaust 'bad' air outside. Right now it sits like this..Styrofoam glued in place, spray foam filling gaps and pour holes cut. Also got the through-hull for the...

    WTB 14-16' plain v-hull or Jon

    One place to look is FB Marketplace - that's where I found the 14' Alumacraft F-9 that I'm currently working on. Guy selling it was less than 1 mile from my place.

    Marine Grade Plywood or Aluminum flooring?

    If I'm setting aluminum rivnuts - I always use a manual setter, not an electric or air powered setter. Ya, it's more work, but I've yet to strip any aluminum rivnuts.

    Wife and kids want to raise chickens?

    Couple things for you 1: Chickens STINK - walking into a coop that hasn't been cleaned in near a week will make you wish you were noseless. Twice a week full clean at minimum. 2: Some municipalities prohibit the raising of 'livestock'...my town prohibits chickens for instance.
