    Fitting a Mantus Anchor in a 2015 Ar240 front anchor compartment

    You have to use a good size zip tie, once you drop this anchor, it sets rigth away. when ready to leave, yank on the ropes 2 times and the zip tie breaks. Must install new zip tie after each use. Best way not to ever loose an anchor.

    installing a Lowarence Elite 5 on a FSH

    This location won't make that much of a difference. What you are trying to accomplish is that the transducer becomes part of the hull once the epoxy dries up. Make sure it seats flat against the transducer, if it does, sand down both sides of the hull and transducer before you apply the epoxy.

    installing a Lowarence Elite 5 on a FSH

    Yes, once its on ITS ON, no turning back. what you are trying to accomplish is for the hull of the boat to become part of the transducer, this is why it is very important to avoid any air bubbles. This type of installation works, have not had any concerns, reads at all speeds, except when...
