We recently upgraded some of our
electronics. As part of getting
bottom paint done, we asked the yard to install the DST800
thru hull.
Once we got the
boat home, finished installing the new
NMEA 2000 network and swapped out the
plug for the triducer, we realized that the arrow is not pointing forward. We sent a relatively pleasant
email, given my
current mood, to which the responded:
"The
transducer housing has a notch for toward you need to twist the insert to slide in to the notch"
Now, we feel that this idiot is telling us how to get the triducer into the
hull. We sent him a picture showing it installed, with the arrow NOT POINTING FORWARD, but not off by 90 degrees, either. That is, we didn't just put it in the wrong notch, it is impossible to point it forward.
Are we missing something, is there something we can do to realign the triducer? Or do we just need to grab him by the ear and drag him into the
bilge?
