First..

Thanks BAMASKEET  for the placement pics !!!

Here is a few pics of the installation.

The biggest issue was pulling the transducer....

Thought it would be simple....WRONG !!!

I tried several times to push a snake and then just attach the plug head but it kept catching on the entrance to the chase....UGGGH.

I TOOK A FEW PICS WITH THE CELL TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON......

I found that I needed to take all the zip ties apart.....uggh and then I needed to get my brother to help....

It's almost impossible to reach the entrance to the chase but I literally had to fit myself into the access hatch and reach down and move the hoses about while we pulled back and forth until it slid into the chase.....

Here are some pics....

 

Getting started.....

I used a wine cork to seal the large hole with gobs of black 5200 and then I used a clam shell with filled it with small pieces of tissue and black foam soaked with 5200....
