[QUOTE="murphy67, post: 419512, member: 21244"] Dale, Thanks for the reply and advice...I was going to use a extra piece of Starboard for the Speedometer pilot and such...but in the short term...I figured since the existing transducer and speed gauge for the locator have been installed and sealed for many years..that it would be ok to just add those additional holes for the new speedometer pilot then seal it with silicone(or maybe 3M 4200/Marine Goop). After I get the floor in and confirm the boat/motor run well (hopefully over labor day)....I plan to actually remove and replace the all locator/transducers/speedometer pilot and fill all holes with 5200..and at that point would go starboard piece and make sure all is nice and sealed. Question: I have 1/2" and 3/4" extra Starboard...and had planned to go with the 3/4". I was going to dovetail the back and then scuff the hull a bit where I would mount the board and affix it with 5200, but wasnt sure if I should also maybe also put a screw in each corner of the board, thru hull and then seal very well with 5200? Thoughts? Thanks [/QUOTE]
