    Just bought a 190 sx, yesterday.

    May 19, 2009, I bought my first skeeter. It's an 02 model with the 150 vmax. 25pitch prop. Looks brand new. I loved the smooth ride during the test run. Anyway, its mine.
    Also, I need a transom mounting bracket for a fishmark 480 transducer. If anyone has one, please let me know.

    Thanks for the kind greetings. Now, about you guys with the pictures. I've still got her under the matching cover. Anyway, it might be the weekend before, I take her out and can post the pictures. They are coming.

    Congrats on the new Skeeter!! As far as a transom mounted transducer goes, if it were me I wouldnt do that, I would just epoxy it into the bottom of the hull

    Re: Just bought a 190 sx, yesterday. (Skeeter Jay)

    What type of epoxy or glue do you guys recommend? Also, I noticed the first blemish. She has 3 small fiberglass cracks near the rear compartment corner. What should I do to cut them off at the pass?

    Do a search on here, there have been several posts about how to do it. I've never had to do it myself, so far (knock on wood) my transducers that have been in the hull when I have bought my boats and have never had to replace them.

    I done mine on my SX and it was no problem. In fact the hardest part was taking the equipment out of the back and the old ducer. I posted some pics as i went along in doing my installation. Here is the link. http://www.bbcboards.net/zerothread/250770
    The epoxy i used was from Lowrance, it came with the shoot thru ducer.

    [IMG][/Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop/DSCN1738] Here are some pictures. Let me know if they come through. I think I got the transducer problem figured out. The person before me didn't glue it straight in an upright position.[IMG][/Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop/DSCN1739]

    You need to have a host place for your pics, like photobucket, shutterfly. They are free. Then upload the pics to that website, then when done right click on the pic and copy the properties of it. Then come on here and place the "properties" information between this. [IMG][/IMG]

    Congratulations on the new boat. Looking forward to pictures and hearing what kind of speed you are getting. I just bought a very similar boat. Best of luck to you.
