cost to fit a sounder
Submitted by BarraSlayer on Wed, 2014-12-17 20:43
Good Evening All
Could someone please let me know how much would be a reasonable amount to expect to pay to fit a sounder/plotter combo? & How long would that job take? As always you thoughts are much appreciated.
Cheers

Beautiful boat. i have nil
Beautiful boat.
i have nil training in 12v electronics though have installed a handful myself. It's pretty easy and shouldn't take too long.
An hour at most, and whatever a labour rate is I guess.

Thanks mate. So im thinking
Thanks mate. So im thinking that $300+ for an install is a bit steep!!!!
Boats new so want to make sure its done proper and dont want to put the wrong holes in the boat i.e. wrong spot.

All depends on what
All depends on what transducer you are getting installed. As thats where most of the work will be. I would think 300 is a.fair price if installing a thru hull transducer as well.

Agree
Agree with roddo, around the 300 would be what you are looking at.
But if its a staight forward install I would expect at least $200 to be done well .

Yeah, per above, through
Yeah, per above, through hull transducer or transome mount? $300 bucks may be a cheap option on a new boat in order to make sure it is pretty.
See if they can do it for $250? Can only ask...

Hi Barraslayer - give Wangler a PM on the forum, he is a guru at fitting sounders/transducer, did mine perfectly - highly recommend his work.
