Depth Finder/Gauge

Previous owner of my boat added one just before I bought it. I'm planning on removing it, as I dont need one to run around my lake. So before you buy let me know I'll go out and take pictures of it all mounted up and see if you want to buy it. It's too cold and icky out to do it right away though.
If you think you want this one, I can take better pix soon when I can get to the storage area, then you can decide for sure.
You'll have to research prices and make me an offer. I figure used electrical stuff is worth 1/2 of new, even if it's only a few months old. Maybe we could work out a trade. I'd like to find a 6" jack plate or maybe some props to play with. Or a good stereo for the dash, see the empty holes on the left side?

It's small diameter, maybe like your smaller gauges. No idea what its worth, see my previous post. I think we're posting too fast here....
Posting to fast... did you notice the last one was # 4000

No kidding!!! Ok take a deep breath and relax.
Do you know what brand it is and i'll look it up. I wish i had something to trade as i just got back into boating.
Whoa, 4,000 posts? No wonder my butt hurts!
In-Dash Digital Depth Sounder, 2" hole in dash, Norcross Marine Products Inc., www.norcrossmarine.com (I have the install booklet, reading off the back) Can't seem to find a model number.
What size hole is the water temp and pressure gauges you installed????
I think it's this one:

most guages are 2 1/8" for the small diameter. i installed a depth guage one on my dad's boat and it works great. now, i did what you weren't supposed to do and cut the wires. i didn't have a drill bit big enough to cut through the transom. i really hate that design where they put a big stupid plug on the end of the cable and then expect you to cut a big hole in the transom. so i cut and soldered the wires - it works flawlessly so don't be afraid to do it.
Chris i hear that. I've installed my share on bass boats before and the could make life easier with a different design.

I was thinking about getting a depth finder and from the reading I've done it seems that a thu-hull transducer is a better way to go. I can't understand why everyone wouldn't go that way. Maybe you guys have an opinion on this?
