Hey guys, I need your help. I bought a 74 M-17 that has been neglected. On the bottom was a threaded hole about 2" across, about 12" forward of the battery and porti-potty bracket right on the center of the hull. I think it is a transducer or depth gauge sticking out of that hole. There is a round piece attached to a wire hanging out from the hole. Am I right? Kendall
Kendall: logical location for a thru-hull transducer. is the transducer still present? or do you have a hole? dave scobie M17 #375 - SWEET PEA visit SWEET PEA's www-site - http://www.m17-375.webs.com --- On Fri, 10/15/10, kdocter <kdocter@bellsouth.net> wrote: Hey guys, I need your help.

Sounds like a transducer hole to me. You can buy plugs for the holes if you are no longer using them. The plugs seal them up pretty effectively. Kent Richmond Oui 1 - Montgomery 15 On Oct 15, 2010, at 10:33 PM, kdocter wrote:

Kendal, I believe you are correct. My M-17 has a similar thru hull in that same place, the previous owner stated it was for a transducer which was later replaced with a o-ringed plug. Regards..,.A. Sharpe....M-17 LITTLE BREEZE in Portland, Oregon On Oct 15, 2010, at 8:33 PM, kdocter wrote:
