Advice on a few boat upgraded please, Advice on a few boat upgraded please

[fisherman2280]

Looking for some advice/feedback please:

1) Transducer mounting plate:

I'm upgrading my sonar and rather that patch the two holes and then drill new ones I wanted to try a transducer mount so if I have to adjust things I won't have to redrill holes into the boat.

Any advice? Anyone use anything like this?

(I Heard the epoxy stick on versions are not great)

2) Boat trailer guides

I installed then yesterday, I've never felt like I needed them but I got a pair for X-mas so on they went.

I left about 2" on each side but is there anything I need to be aware of before I get out there?

Thank you

On the mounting plate, I had mined sealed over older holes with 3M 5200 and then put the transducer onto the plate.

Boat guides, I only had about 1 inch clearance on each side of the boat to make sure the keel centers on the rollers. I added a self centering roller at the back, so much easier to line everything up. Self centering roller.

I like that self centering roller. May have to investigate if that fits my trailer.
Thanks

Agreed, about an inch will help centre the boat but keep them from knocking against the boat in transit. If I allowed 2" the boat could load out of line with the bunks, and then you're that guy backing into the ramp to reset the boat and nobody wants to be that guy at a guy ramp They also help reversing the trailer empty.
