very nice work to both you mark ,sawcat . ive got a ? for both of you i put in a gps/depth finder last year n mid season i figured my epoxy broke away from inside hull not completely but enuf to not function . i mounted transducer between rear of tank and the pad were my bildge pump sits . to redo / fix this i want to get back seat out this time , whats best n easiest way ? mainly the bottom of seat not back part as much .is it a unit or do they both have to come out ? thanks z
 
The back seat base frame & back wrap around are seperate

You would get better access removing both the rear seat base & the seat back,but you can reach it if you just remove the wrap around seat back.
It really shouldn't be necessary to remove the seat base.

I also think we just hijacked Mark's thread, but I didn't want to ignore you
 
So you installed a through-hull transducer? Why didn't you just mount it on the transom? Anyway, I would be inclined to seal it with 3M 5200. It will be permanent but it won't leak. You do not want to get any water into the core whatsoever...or you will be doing the repair I just did.
 
yeah i did sorry mark , it reads through the hull , i had to sand the fiberglass mat smooth to mount it . i'm worried about the wet factor as i read this post cuz i dont know how far the or where my epoxy separated . but i know it got wet . so i want to be able to get better access for repair . it works/ed great before mishap, i didnt want it hangin off the transom so i did inside mount

Alright, here a couple of pics of the big Etec. They are indoor shots as the boat is now put away for the winter... but you get the idea. Hit 73 MPH with a 27 Trophy last run of the year. I'm not unhappy with that. The Starliner is not as fast as a Pulsare but is great in the rough stuff. This is my big water ride anyway. On calmer days I use my Diplomat in the Avatar.
