![]() I think if you guys could see the picture you will see why I feel it is the transducer and not anything else. I really wish I could upload the picture I have but still having trouble re sizing it and if I make it any smaller its not worth it. I can understand where she is coming from s designed to be removed.Īnyway.since we couldn't leave the slip on Monday our next step is to completely dry again on Friday and actually take her out while having someone keep an eye on the bilge while underway. This idea does not sit well with the 1st mate and I'm am not allowed to remove it until the boat is on the trailer. I explained how the insert is designed to be removed for inspection/cleaning while in the water. This started a great debate, where I think the seals dried up or the insert is failing as this boat was sitting on land for over a year. It is really hard to tell if the water is coming from underneath all the caulking/sealant around the transducer flange or from the paddle wheel insert After a little research I determined I have an Airmar - B744v it appears that on this model the insert can be removed whilst still in the water and is designed that way to clean the sensor and replace the rubber seals for maintenance. I could clearly see NO water coming from the side the AC/Heat Sea-cock is on, However, water seemed to be coming from the side the transducer is on. After about an hour we could see about a pint of water collecting there. I used a rag to really wipe it clean, and as soon as we finished we were able to see the smallest bit of water start pooling in the bottom of the bilge area. So on Monday we shop vac'ed all the water out and dried the best we could.(wife forgot the hair dryer) Thanks guys, some really great troubleshooting tips.
