1. Echo sounder location - coouldn't get a decent reading until I sited the transducer in the well at the back of the cockpit. This is in f ront of the engine so no turbulance, but it works fine - fixed in place with clear sealant - in case I wish to remove it! 2. NASA duet speed/distance fitted through hull about half way down the length of the cokpit. HAd fun dealing with double skin but cracked it in the end. Watertight and works well. 3. Next jobs - a 'temporary' rudder for river work!

Marwin problem solved! - many thanks for your prompt help. I am new to the Regatta I bought last November and am getting it ready for tidal water! Do you have a bilge pump? If so, where do you site it, please? Mike e.mail: mike.baumber@btinternet.com

Find a location under the port bench, with a plane surface. I glued a pipe filled with mineral oil there, and put the transducer in it. Works very fine. If questions, call xx47 - 900 44 555 (or skype marwinols) Marwin

Where is the best place to put the transducer for an echo sounder on a Hardy Regatta, please?
