Doing a little snooping around the engine room and removed the center walkway to find a couple of issues that need to be fixed.
1. A Airmar transducer has separated from the hull and was flopping around the bilge. I looked up the company and they had a cross reference to equipment that it could be used with.
The only thing that I saw that matches my boat electronics is a RayMarine device. Of course the Raymarine instruments are a Radar and a AutoPilot.
So not sure if they are tied into either of those, maybe something else.
I guess I will just reattach it and see what happens. There is one small instrument that is not displaying speed OR depth. It's not the big bottom machine it is a smaller showing 0 depth and 0 speed. When we pulled the boat out a few days ago we cleared the small speed wheel on the bottom of a oyster and had hoped it would start working again, not yet.
2. Also found what I assume is the high water bilge pump (attached higher off the bottom) with some duct tape holding it together. I plan on getting that fixed asap. I think what possibly happened there was someone dropped the walkway there when trying to put back in place.
3. We replaced the zincs on the shaft and I was surprised that there was nothing on the rudders. Are there supposed to be zincs on the rudders?
Thanks for all input.
