So yesterday I started to install my new Lowrance 7TI. I got the TotalScan mounted up under the steppad with the surface mount and routed the transducer wire thrue the transom then I go in the battery capartment to grab what I thought was my transducer wire and it was about a 5ft black racer snake that went across my arm and all though I’m not afraid of snakes it scared the crap out of me because I didn’t know what kind it was at first. So it disappeared under the battery trays in the bildge area somewhere so no big deal he’s harmless. I continue to run the ducer wire in the wire tube that runs from the back to the console and now I feel something crawling on my hand and it was about ten bull ants and thank god I didn’t get bit because you know it when a bull ant tags you. I stick my head in the battery capartment to see hundreds of bull ants. Being ants hate water I was going to try and flush them out with the hose but I was afraid they’d be all over the boat if I did that. So the wire tube is full of them. What would be the best method of getting rid of them so I can finish up running the ducer wire?
