The leak is stopped! What I'm concerned about is the integrity of the housing. If it's indeed deformed due to over tightening then how prone is it to .. breaking?

The one I got wasn't that thorough. But the instructions are the same in any case I'm just impressed that the one you sent had PCB schematics! Anyway .. my transducer looks different, so does the plug. The lower o-ring is further down than the one shown in the drawing. I purchased both the ST40 speed and the ST40 depth at the boat show .. I'm being reminded now of another conversation had on this list about open box raymarine products ... the boxes had clearly been opened, they were old stock and I got them both for $300. $150 per instrument is pretty good. But now I guess there's a chance that maybe parts got mixed up? I don't know, I actually doubt that, I'm pretty sure the drawing in my manual shows the transducer that I have, I would have noticed the difference right away like I did with the manuals I was just sent.

I can still rotate the transducer a wee bit, just as much as the key-cutaway allows, that will vary the amount of water getting in by a bit. It doesn't exactly "jiggle" but I can push down on it, which seems weird to me, it moves a millimetre or two when pushed down. Not really anymore now that the larger o-ring and plumbers tape is in there. Again, the cap nut is locked down. I didn't look at the attachment because I had the instructions in front of me the whole time I installed the thing .. I can see the cutaway drawing in my head I looked at it so much :) Loosening the lock nut is a no go at this point because it will take tools to do it. It is stuck on good! I'm wary of applying that much torque to the thing it being in this compromised state already. If it cracks I'm in big trouble the boat being in the water and everything. RE: slings. With all the travellifts being busy launching boats they can't let me sit in the slings. They can put me down on jack stands but then I'm paying for haul, launch and storage. I was quoted $450 at one place... "or more depending on time". I have to pull out the old thru-hull and install a new one and let the sealant cure so the boat will be out of the water at best 12 hours, at worst .. I don't even know. Then there's the possibility that it leaks again for some reason when it goes back in.

Now, I could loosen it, but I'm concerned about applying much force to that thru-hull with the boat in the water. If I crack the thru-hull now I'm in trouble. Plastic. * exaggerated eye roll* I am indeed on a mooring without a charger and that's why I'm weighing this ... it's either a haul and new thru-hull or a solar charging system. Jeez when someone said the boat was only the cost of admission they weren't kidding! It's been an expensive spring what with a new sail and everything else. I also bought an old mercedes wagon that requires some $love$. It's C&C related because I bought the thing to haul cushions to and from my boat in the winter and spring :D I've been leaning towards a haul this whole time so that's probably what's going to have to happen. Dammit. The bronze thru-hull is 155 plus shipping etc. Steve Suhana, C&C 32 Toronto On Thu, May 9, 2013 at 11:48 AM, Alan Bergen <alan-at-h...@comcast.net> wrote: Try backing off the nut that holds the housing in place.
