Re: Zincs- More is better?

There is still confusion regarding galvanic protection. I have used a mag. hang over anode for 15 years now to bring my numbers up. I have the correct anodes on my 29 provided by BoatZincs.com.

Re: Help identifying what this is? Maybe transducer?

Help identifying what this is? Maybe transducer?

Does anyone know what this is? It's located right behind the aft bilge pump. I assume it's a transducer of some sort and if so does anyone know of an adapter to hook to a hummingbird Helix 5 fish finder?? 89' 32' Fisherman

Help! Scentry 410 Vapor Sensor

So I'm not sure if I've turned the switch on before but apparently I did last night as we woke up with the Explosion light and alarm going off. The power button or test button do not work on the unit so I'm not sure it even works. BUT I did fill up yesterday but could not smell any gas when I opened...
