Re: Depth gauge
My 2000 is a Faria also. I learned with other boats in the past, to never mount two different transducers too close together. The beams will cross under the boat, and give really wonky results.

Depth gauge
Was the Faria depth Guage the std install on 270's along with their other gauges? I can see it, I see an image that looks like it on google- just did not remember it being Faria...I don't want to have to replace the transducer...

Re: 4x4 HILL MARINE BE AWARE!!!!!!!!!!!
I am in the steel business & know enough metallurgy to be dangerous. That being said anything from the mill with inclusions is rejected 100%. Should have never made it to end user.

Re: Meet the new La Rea!
Today I made a $2000 mistake.
Okay, that's the splashy headline. Truth is, today I confronted the reality that I need to replace the 14-year-old Blomberg galley refrigerator. A shelf support broke, and I found the part for $6. But when I tried to install it on the glass shelf, this happened:
Yup, the glass shelf exploded in my hands (an exciting moment for sure). Replacement shelves can't be found anywhere, and the inside of the fridge has some other cracks, so it's headed for the landfill. Blomberg makes a drop-in replacement, and I found one in New Jersey.

Re: 4x4 HILL MARINE BE AWARE!!!!!!!!!!!
The best second opinion might be hi-res photos with a millimeter scale, followed by taking the same photos halfway through the season. Otherwise, it's all speculation.

@JimGuy341 maybe hit that spot with muriatic acid to make it easier to tell exactly what you are dealing with?

Re: Meet the new La Rea!
Yeah, I could try to patch it together and hope it lasts another year, but it's 14 years old. I'd rather replace it on my own timeline and know we're good.
On a lighter note, Yeti delivered custom drinkware with a boat image that I made from a graphic in the owners manual. Of course, we had to do some product testing!

Re: What did you do to your boat today
Tried changing the oil from the drain hose instead of through the dipstick. Bought a 1/4 mip barbed fitting. Worked great.

Got the lithium batteries mounted and wired up.
Custom tray made out of aluminum angle and an endless ratchet strap.
