Spring Projects: Who is doing what?

[ian ashton]

Slowly but surely I'm checking things off the list. I guess its a good thing that the weather is so bad here in Michigan - we've only had the boat out once this season - more time for projects!

Anyway, I've got all the Exile speakers in, and LED's wired up. The other night I bit the bullet and ordered a Lowrance LST-3800 depth/temp gauge, and a Kenwood 107MR remote, and they both arrived yesterday!



So, I popped the gauge into where the factory "blank" was;




I'm still waiting for the transducer and temp sending unit to arrive, so its not functional yet, but I wanted to see how it looks. So far this is the closest to a 'factory' look that I've come across that does dept and temperature, and it was fairly inexpensive.

I need to get a rotozip or something to do the install of the 107MR, I'm not super excited about cutting a large hole in the boat (seems like a pretty permanent modification for something electronic, that I seem to change / upgrade frequently, lol) but I guess I don't really have a reason to change after this is in, the MR440U and 107MR do everything I want, so I should be good for at least a few weeks, lol.
