Broken (off) tm260
Submitted by Olliej on Tue, 2013-04-02 10:55
Somehow i've managed to lose the tm260 off the back of the boat on its third outting out. It was professionally mounted and has appeared to fail where the plastic of the transducer meets the bracket - ill post a pic tonight. I didnt hit anything, but it was quite sloppy on the 20nm steam out.
before i pay the excess to replace im keen to be comfortable that it doesnt happen again. Has anyone heard of this happening before? My other option is to wire the other p66 on the hull into the unit and be done with it.
Also the tm260 was second hand so no warranty recourse there.
