    Transducer cable routing FSH 19

    Hello, I mounted the transducer to a 3/4" piece of starboard cut to the same dimensions of the transducer. This moved it into the clean water stream. I then used liquid nails marine grade to mount the transducer to the starboard and then to the intake cover, off center to the starboard side. No...

    SOLD FL 2017 190 FSH - **SOLD***

    I sold it for $24k. Would have liked more but we had a time crunch so bird in the hand, as it were.

    Hi Doug, I'm so sorry. It sold on Friday and I was about Thursday take the post down. Safe boating! Andrew

    No more wet engine compartment foam.

    I'll try to remember to take it on Friday when I go to the boat, which is now sold! But, if you're facing the open engine compartment, I did it about 6" away from the far right corner in the channel that holds the water. I found the water tends to collect at the back of the tray.

    2019 Yamaha 190 FSH Sport - leaks

    I think JDinfla is referring to the tube your clean out plug sits inside. In the wet locker there's the clean out tube, the tray that lifts up, and the drain. I found there was hardly any silicon around the edges of the tray that are held down by screws. I unscrewed that out and sealed it. Then...

    2019 Yamaha 190 FSH Sport - leaks

    There's a huge amount of information (too much of it posted by me!) on the leaky 190 FSH on the 190/210 forum. If you were just sitting there and water wasn't in direct contact with the anchor locker plug (which leaks too), it was likely a poor, or no seal, on the drain plugs. When I found water...

    No more wet engine compartment foam.

    I did the same thing about a year ago in the corner near the battery tray. Just check it on occasion. Mine got clogged with some debris.

    Garmin 94 sv+ FSH 210 install and Transducer works great

    Final outcome: The transducer mount location did work okay...up until about 25 knots, and then it seemed to freeze, get the depth, and then blink, and then freeze. Whereas before, when it was mounted aft of the intake, it worked all the time. The main irritation was the fact that in reverse...

    My impression with jet boats was how quickly they got to plane and stayed on it without trim tabs. But now I'm imagining if you're piloting a jet boat with more weight from people, equipment, etc. towards the aft portion of the boat, I can see how the advantages would certainly be there. Thanks.

    That's pretty interesting to know. I've never seen them at the boat shows on Yamaha boats. I'd be interested on what their advantages are for a jet boat and if they're aftermarket or an option from Yamaha? You always learn new things here.

    Garmin 94 sv+ FSH 210 install and Transducer works great

    I'm going to have to admit that I've never seen trim tabs on a Yamaha jet boat. Maybe it's due to the nature of their jet boat design? I did a cursory search online and it appears they are rare and on specialized jet boats.

    Here is the cable route I was talking about yesterday: Under the swimdeck Around the bait bucket Into the engine compartment (you'll see the blue connector of the cable) Behind the engine to the cable harness Over the fuel tank And into the center console! You're done.

    Garmin 94 sv+ FSH 210 install and Transducer works great

    I'll try it out first and see about the turbulence. Last time it was about 1" higher and the issues came up at 20 knots. I'm giving it a 50% change of success ;). That step is the whole problem and when I looked at mounting it on the step the whole transducer was way below the straight edge of...

    Garmin 94 sv+ FSH 210 install and Transducer works great

    The best I could get with that step being so close to the bunks. I didn't think of that beforehand. The bunk would hit the mount of the transducer. Bummer. But I angled it down and left room for up and down adjustment. We'll see how it does at 20 + knots.

    Garmin 94 sv+ FSH 210 install and Transducer works great

    That'll be tricky, especially with the clearance of that lip being only about 1.5" high or so. If I can get enough real estate to mount the bracket is the problem. It will end up dropping the whole transducer into the water rather than even with it. Same problems I was having before and saw most...

    Garmin 94 sv+ FSH 210 install and Transducer works great

    motomandan will probably get pics before I do but if I get out there today I'll shoot you some. I'm not sure if the 210 will have the same layout. Long story short: Drilled a hole under the swim deck above the water line, pulled the cable under and around the bucket holder (which you have to...

    Garmin 94 sv+ FSH 210 install and Transducer works great

    I looked at your picture and recalled why there were problems when I previously mounted the transducer on the transom. There's a small step a few inches from the transom that caused me issues with depth readings above 20 knots. I think it creates turbulence. Any ideas on the best placement with...

    Copy that. Thank God I got that warranty on the old transducer!

    Garmin 94 sv+ FSH 210 install and Transducer works great

    I'll bring my straight edge. Before it was completely submerged so I didn't have to worry about edge lines. A little more precision is obviously the need here.
