Peter, I use a fish finder made by Eagle and I purchased it from Wal-Mart for around $200. Eagle is manufactured by Lowrance. The model is named Fish Mark 320. The directions given for attaching the sender to the inside of the hull ( no holes necessary) says to embed it epoxy. However, thanks to the advice of Howard Audsley, I used silicon sealer that is available at almost any hardware or auto supply store. The big advantage to the use of silicon instead of epoxy is that if you want to move the sender to another location in the hull, you don't have to destroy the sender to remove it. I used a square piece of 1/4 inch material (birch plywood, in my case) with two strips of velcro glued to the bottom of the plywood. This is attached to two corresponding strips on the center of the sliding hatch cover. Since the fishfinder is only used while underway, it can be stowed while at anchor along with the connecting wiring and cable.

Hello all! I would like to know if anyone with an M15 has ever used a Depth/Fish Finder on their boat. I am leaning to the Fishin' Buddy 2255 by Bottom Line because it is removable. I don't want to drill a hole in the Hull. Anyone can email off line it they would like. I also would like to hear more sailing adventure stories too if you have them. I don't have too many myself yet! Thanks, Peter Peanut M15 618 "Its better to have feet then no shoes" It's raining here quite heavy! _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
