Re: Classic Montauk All-round White Lamp Relocaton

I like what Katpil did more and more...... being on the console the lamp would be about seven feet above the deck and far away from my eyes. Oldslowandugly, I made this mod to avoid bending/breaking the stock light pole on dock posts, I was constantly admonishing my kids on this. A NOS OEM pole is ...

On the location of the all-round white light, all the recent 19, 17, and 15-foot Boston Whaler boats I see have them mounted on the console amidships. At first I thought it was an odd thing not to be on the transom. Now I'm a fan. ASIDE: The observation about my antenna placement is technically corr...

1990 MONTAUK 17: Thru-hull SONAR Transducer

I'm considering installing a depth transducer in the bilge of my 1990 Montauk. Has anyone else done that? I have a Raymarine MFD which uses a 2-inch-diameter low-profile through-hull transducer. What is the hull thickness if I were to cut a 2-inch-diamter hole? Trying to make sure the transducer has...
