Took the boat out for the first time with the new depth/temp gauge, and I must say, I absolutely love it! Its nice knowing that the water I was wakeboarding in (without a wet suit, or dry suit) was 57 degrees, lol. The depth gauge is much nicer than the unit I had before too, it seems to be very accurate, and very quick - my old one never really got consistent readings in deep water, it was more of just a shallow water alarm than a depth sounder, haha.

At any rate, I didn't snap any pics of the install of the transducer or temperature probe - the transducer was easy, I just epoxied it to the hull in the bildge, right behind the transmission.

Installing the temperature probe was a little different - I couldn't decide how I wanted to do it - the temperature probe consists of a round wire (a little smaller than what you'd have for coaxial cable for your TV), and a small sensor, about 1" x .25" x .375" - this is where the trouble came about. I had to decide between drilling a larger hole, and either filling it, or using something like this to get the piece through the hull as one, or between cutting the probe from the wires, poking the leads through a smaller hole, and re-connecting.

I decided on the latter, with the hope that cutting the wires wouldn't negatively impact the readings. Fortunately, I was right - so I ended up popping a 1/4" hole through the bottom of the boat, feeding the temp sensor wire up through the hole into the bilge, then filling the hole from the inside with epoxy. On the outside (so far) I have covered the sensor with a 10"x10" piece of sheet vinyl (like what you'd use for a wrap) - I need to get under there and epoxy it to the hull, I just wasn't sure this was all going to work so I wanted a less permanent solution until I could get it in the water.
