Installed the gauge inside the transom door compartment, made a stainless plate (painted it black) to insert the gauge and a momentary push button switch which light up the temp indicator when pushed as I did not want to have it lit 24/7 or forget it in the on position if I would have used a normal switch. Not operational yet as the temp probe obviously needs to be located below the water line which will happen shortly after haul out in the next week or so. Not a great picture but if you click on it you get a larger view which helps somewhat.

Hans, if your boat is a 2007 your plotter cant be very old. Does the transducer not display water temp?

Never did since I got it, either it was not installed or it is malfunctioning. Regardless, read my first post of this thread as the why I find it inconvenient to have it on the plotter. Yes I had it on the plotter on the previous boat so I know what it is. ;-)

I ordered this sensor/wire which I have received and can confirm it works perfectly with the unit. Wire is about 30' long so suitable for almost any application and round which is easy to seal. The unit is marine tuff stainless and designed to be transom mounted made by Airmar that supplies most transducers and sensors for most all brands of marine electronics. These normally cost $100++ but this is what they call new old stock so $20. :-D https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Airmar-Ext ... 2749.l2649


Dang... $35 for shipping! How are you running this into the water? Are you drilling a hole in the swim platform and then mounting on the transom? Still not a bad solution for under $100

These are the times you need a US shipping address as shipping is free. ;-) In fact most of my stuff gets shipped to the US, really helps to have a brother that lives in tax free New Hampshire also. :-D Yep, swim platform to transom just like I did my underwater lights. Will post some pics when done.
