Spaulding did you In-Hull-Mount your trans?
I did in-hull grease mount. I tried a wet mount but I couldn't make the container water tight in my Stealth. The grease works very good, however temp readings are off - anywhere from 2 - 4 degrees when comparing to other ff that have the transducer in the water. Grease is easy but can get messy if you're not careful.
Sounds like you found a great deal, let me know how the Navi chip works out... I was hoping to add that capability soon.

Didn't take it out today, Im going to use that as the reason why I also came home empty handed haha! I did some youtube surfing and this guy uses "DUCT SEAL". If you know construction, its so cheap its almost free. Plus NO mess. And yes the in-hull will boch the WT but pans out eventually.
