How to Install a Fish Finder Thru Hull Transducer (FULL In-Depth DIY)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 май 2024
- Learn how to install a through hull transducer in your boat for your fish finder. This video covers EVERYTHING from start to finish on how to install a new thru hull transducer properly and save thousands of dollars by doing it yourself. I show you how to remove the old transducer and fairing, how to drill a new hole in your hull, adding backing plates, sealing with 5200, and finally we go out and explore a ship wreck to test the transducer out. In this case we are using a Raymarine rv220 transducer and we need two so we can get side scan, 3D imaging, chirp, and RealVision but this process works for other brands like Airmar, Garmin, Furuno, Simrad, and more! This is @chrisfixstyle but for boats so you know you're learning all the best methods and wont sink your boat!

This guy's a madman! He's drilling holes in his boat!
hahaha
He better fix that. Otherwise he might see some wooder in the boat
Hi
Hey chris
Long time no see
Good to see this style of video coming from ChrisFix I think this channel brings the same great content and wouldn't mind seeing more even though I don't have a boat. For ChrisFix if I can suggest a video on a sagging headliner repair would be nice. My car is in the hot SoCal heat and the headliner is starting to separate from the trim piece, looks like a simple DIY for $50 vs a shop quote of $350 despite it being a 2 door coupe with only about a 5 1/2 ft x 4 ft headliner area.
Bring back ChrisFish!!! we miss this content :(
My grandpa and I have been renovating a boat, this will be helpful
Awesome! What boat?
Noah’s Ark……duh
Probably a yacht
Always wanted to get a boat n restore it but i no nothing about boats lol
@@vinski_ they don’t fly ?
I don't like fishing much -- but I love Chris! He somehow someway makes me super entertained through anything!
I'm glad you were still entertained!
Agree, have subscribed to ChrisFix for years and only today found the existence of this channel. Despite knowing very little about boats I watched this to the end.
I dont even like the ocean but watched it all the way!
@@chrisfished I love fishing
I don’t own a boat but I find this very helpful
Even though i have no plans to own a boat, the amount of information and detail chris puts in all of his videos keeps me coming back for more
I know exactly what you mean.
What an incredibly detailed video! Interesting even to those of us who don’t own a boat. I know the production of this video was probably very involved and difficult. Appreciated! 👍👍
Thanks a lot dude!
I completely forgot he has a fishing channel. I just found this video because I’m buying a fishing boat and had questions about electronics. I am almost in tears I’m so happy. Thanks for your content Chris!
I hope to get my already filmed content out on installing the GPS and Radar and other electronics! I am just so far behind from my move!
@@chrisfished you take your time sir! Thanks for everything!!
I really love how prepared youre Chris. Youre always 10 steps ahead when doing something to make it 10 times easier for everyone
Thanks a lot! That is the goal. It takes a ton of planning but I think of it this way, I do all the extra work planning and laying it all out so it's easy to follow, and then thousands of people are helped with a smooth, easy to follow video.
@@chrisfished that is true! Both ChrisFix and ChrisFish channels, you are doing an amazing job at tutoarials and entertainment in your videos combined!
Ya it’s crazy he always has everything he needs and never has to run to get a part or tool he’s always so prepared. Unlike me 😂😂
@@chrisfished yes
I don't even own a boat but i watched the whole thing, Information and installation technique was very well presented. I have adhd and the fact you kept my attention for 35 minutes is amazing in itself! The reverse direction trick on gelcoats is a awesome pro level tip to anyone working with anything gelcoat!
It works really well! And I'm glad you liked the presentation!
6:35, some hole saws have a long enough thread so you can stack a 2" hole saw on top of the 2 3/8"hole saw. Then you use the 2" hole for alignment.
This is you
I never went fishing in my life but love your videos on both channels. Honestly I could watch you talk about planting pumpkins and still be hooked on it...
Haha thanks a lot!
A little tip: a scrap piece of 2x4 can be used to prevent damage to the thru-pipe when hammering on it.
Good idea!
I can’t wait to hopefully start seeing more videos on this channel. I’ve just been rewatching these videos cause the way he goes about making his videos just checks all the right boxes.
There will be some new video very soon! Been hard at work behind the scenes getting some new content and trying some new things out!
@@chrisfished Can’t wait to see those! Keep up the good work!
Before long we will have ChrisFly teaching us how to fix airplanes. Good work chris.
I’ll stick with cars and boats for a really long time lol
I love both of your channels keep up your good work :)
Thanks a lot!!!
15:50
Man, this guy knows about cars too.
I wish he had a channel about cars.
lol
I love all of your videos! Your the reason I enrolled in an auto mechanics school Chris! Thank you for the amazing videos!
Thanks and that is awesome Devin! Love hearing stuff like this! It keeps me motivated!
Hey man. What are the thing they teach you there. Cause Im planning to enroll In Auto mechanics to become a car mechanic.
Tbh, im having a hard time to pick what course i pick so please answer, it would appreciate a lot.
I clicked this unknowing that it is Chris' other cgannel and thought
"Haha, this guys totally reminds me of Crisfix"
Just goes to show how original your videos are, man !
Thanks!
I love the channel chris keep up the work!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot
Sorry these videos aren’t getting as many views as they deserve, such detailed edits that I know so much time is put into and I wish they got as much recognition as the ChrisFix videos. Soon I’m sure they will!
They are getting more and more each time!
This is cool Chris I have something similar. I recently got a fishing boat from my father. I live in Grand Haven just of Lake Michigan i'm 23 now and I remember summers of just peaceful hours and hours on Lake Michigan fishing and listening to Jimmy Buffet. Luckily my father is still alive. The first time I owned the boat was surreal just spending hours on the boat and taking my father just as he had done so many times before
That is awesome man! Those memories are great!
I'd love to see more fishing tutorial videos next time you go out! Thanks for all the great content Chris.
u are doing great on ur both channels love them both. My dad is a fisherman so i am made just like u chris
sea guy and car guy. Thanks to u i get to learn more about my passions. Thank u
Thanks awesome Gabriel!
Awesome video with great detailed explanation of every step in the process. A true seminar in 'how it's done'!
Thanks a lot!
Hey Chris, Just saw this video and being an avid fisherman, I can explain the difference of the side-scan sonar and side-view sonar.
What you were talking about is the side-view sonar which scans the sides and bottom but you cant direct the angle that it views, which gives you a general view of what's around you which is helpful but isnt as precise as a side-scan sonar.
A side-scan sonar is normally in the ballpark of $30k-50k and its a giant periscope bulb that drops below the boat and isn't seen on small boats due to the size of it. We have one on our 48' Cabo and it still takes up a lot of room in the engine room. The perks to this is that first off, you can change the direction of where it scans and the distance that it scans, anywhere from 50-2000 feet. You can also change the angle and the way that it scans (faster or slower, screen shows circle or square or some other odd shapes) and you can also turn on sound for when it scans, so whenever it picks up a fish or object in the water, it will make a much more distinct and loud sound than it does while normally scanning.
Both are great to have especially since you can change the beam on the side-view sonar but that comes at the cost of everything slowing down and not being able to scan as far. But you can install them on any boat, even a kyak, while the side-scan sonar is massive and takes up a lot of room while adding a lot of weight to the boat aswell, plus its extremely expensive as I've stated above.
Great video anyways

Thanks for sharing Aidan!
I’m betting most installers aren’t this meticulous. Your perfection to your craft makes this look like an art. I’m betting your in hot demand and your booked well in advance. For you my friend , I award the Honorable Man Card. Cheers great video
Exactly why sometimes it's worth doing it yourself!
man should’ve been the engineer of the titanic
Love these vids! Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot!
The best DIY video on RUclips PERIOD. I don’t even own a boat but watch it all the way and I feel confident that I could perform the installation.
Thanks a lot!
I don't know how I've only just now found this channel, I just can't get enough of Chris's amazing content!
Yo Chris hello bro I love your videos!
Hey, thanks!
nice vid chris keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot
Well done Chris! What an excellent install. I dont think you missed a thing!! Cheers
Thanks a lot!
i dont even have a boat nor a car or license, but your videos are just too entertaining
Hey guys ChrisFix here , today we are gonna swap a bmw e46 engine into this boat!
It's aluminum so I wouldn't have to worry about corrosion :o
Time to go to the Black Sea to find the Moscow!
I don't even have a boat or care about fishing. Just here to watch these videos for the knowledge and enthusiasm you throw down! Keep up the great work.
Thanks a lot man! It is kinda cool that now you know stuff most people even with boats dont know. Not many people know how to do this!
32:36 Yes please!
Thank you Chris for your quality content!
Man chris your videos never cease to amaze me even if I know what you’re doing good job bro
Your tutorials are Mater Class level. Thank you!!
Thank you!
So beautiful! 🥹 Great job as always. I’m excited for your summer out on the wooder.
Me too!! Still waiting for the weather to get a little warmer...
I just watched a 35 min video and I don't even own a boat lol very entertaining thanks Chris
Haha well now you know how to install a through hull transducer. Something people pay big bucks for! This plus the radar was a $10k job total from the installers.
Every time Chris says “transducer” you have to drink!!! My little boy thought it was so funny. We have watched this video 5 times. Good times
I'm glad you guys enjoyed the video!
This is a great video; very well explained step by step. Not many people do this quality videos. Cheers Mate!
I just discovered this, holy crap more Chris. I’m all about it my dude. I love boats and cars and I’m hype for the possibilities of this channel!
I'm glad you're liking the videos!
Exceptionally done video. Very informative. Professionally done. Thank you.
After watching your videos, I feel really confident about fixing and repairing mechanical components
Yayy!! New episode of ChrisFish ,i hope chris and everyone doing well today
Thanks for the support
Done and done... good job, masking and that little bit of prep makes everything that bit easier.
It was a lot easier once it was all prepped!
Clean install! Nice work Chris! 👍
Thanks a lot!
That was possibly the best DIY video I've ever seen on RUclips. Legit. Your attention to detail is mind blowing. Great job bro.
Thanks!
I live off the Chesapeake bay and I don't even have a boat. Shoot I've never been fishing before yet I end up watching this whole video. You really should think about making a home improvement channel like your apple fools video and I'd probably watch that all too.
I will be posting the home improvement stuff here!! You should try going fishing. I dont know where on the Chesapeake you live but there is a lot of good catfishing up north!
Gotta love technology always improving...great tips.
Right? It is amazing what sonar can do these days! Have you seen the Panoptics stuff? It's like an ultrasound under water!
Hi chris love your car and boat videos a very helpful tip when working with 4200 and 5200 is soaking a rag with WD-40 it cleans excess 5200 very well and you can form the bead the way you want it. Thank you for sharing all these videos with us.
Thanks for the tip and thanks a lot!
this man makes anything sound easy and interesting but then when you go try to do it you need to watch his vids like a step by step process lmfao ive been watching him for a FAT MIN and hes always been amazing while getting the right camera angles for every bolt and teaching people as well its super impressive how far youve come bro i even bought some of that spray nine you mentioned in a video a while back and it worked like a charm for my fenders and hood thank you for taking time to teach us even though i know ill probably never actually own a boat i still watch both channels
Thanks a lot! That's the goal every single time!
Very impressive techniques! awesome installation
Thank you!
Ahoy there Captain Chris Fish! I never tried fishing before but your videos are still entertaining for me to watch :D
You should give it a try. It's fun!
I literally watched this while working on boats. My full time job. I’ve done probably 3 of these. I still watched it. The power of Chris
That's awesome Brian! How did I do?
@@chrisfished It looked great Chris! You did a through job with all the correct steps per usual. As a technician I usually don’t get to see the parts I install in heavy action like you showed here I usually only go a couple hundred feet out to test. A great video as always I can’t wait to see more from you here and if you need anything don’t be afraid to contact me I’m in New England not far out from you. Have a good day man!
Your dedication to teach is incredible
Thanks!
reverse gelcoat drilling is a new tip I learned from your video, 35 minutes well spent, thanks! This will come in handy when I will be installing transom and hull lights)
Glad you learned something new!
I've been watching your Fix videos for years and just came on this channel by random lol
Love how he has different intros for different channels
How it’s made vibe. Love it !
Thanks
This channel may be the reason I get a boat someday.
Do it!!
RUclips has taken you so far in life... I recall when you bought your neighbours car for dirt cheap and fixed it up, I think you sold it back to him after... keep up that grind my guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks man! It definitely has been a journey!
more videos please! loved this one
I do not have a boat, I haven't gone fishing in years but I really enjoyed every second of this video. Greetings from 🇨🇱 Chris
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the support from Chile!
Thanks for the reverse drilling tip !
Glad the tip was helpful!
I've been gradually losing my hearing and I watch most YT videos at 1.25x or 1.5x speed, and every time you said "hole" "hull" or "whole" I'm glad it wasn't a drinking game! Great vid, very good instruction and filming.
Haha thanks a lot!
Beautiful video, nice animations, very good explaning. Love it, keep up the good work👌👌👌
Thanks!
I really enjoyed Christmas fish video especially the tournament one, at the end of the day its something that you like to do
if chrisfish here accidentally says chrisfix in his intro, we would all have a laugh. 😂
Top stuff Chris 👍
Thank you Chris! Great video
Thanks a lot!
Thanks Chris! I love this channel
Thanks!
Just about to do this job, thankyou so much for doing this. Awesome!
How did it turn out?
Yooo thx so much Chris I needed this lol just got one for my boat
Perfect! Let me know if you have any questions!
@@chrisfished I will thx
Quality content, as always. Really enjoyed watching this, even i only have small row boat and use it to fish perch and pike at local lake. Keep it going Chris!
Thanks a lot! And any fishing setup is a good fishing setup!
I do not go fishing, I don't have a boat either, I will probably will never install Fish Finder in my life. But man oh man, do I learned a lot from this video? Heck yeah I did! And it was very satisfying to watch. Thanks Chris!
Thanks a lot!
I don't even have a boat and this video had me mesmerized for all its length!
Thanks a lot!
This was a great video, am a nubbie to big boats and have a ton of DYI stuff to do.
Understanding what products to use below the water line is critical.
Thanks a lot! That is the goal with this channel. Try to teach as much as I can about the proper way to work on boats!
I cant believe ChrisFix aka ChrisFish is a fan of fishing, this made my day!
Ahuevo,
todo el tiempo que leía Chris Fish pensaba en Chris Fix.
Qué chido, lindo bote.
Nice work, Chris!
Thanks!
Lots of great tips in this video. That hole saw tip and drill guide tip was genius. I really enjoy this channel even though I live in the desert and don't have a boat.
Thanks a lot Jonathan!
I don’t eat fish or go fishing… but it’s Chrisfix, so I gotta watch!
Thanks Josh!
Chris, I’ve been a subscriber to your car channel for years. I live on my boat so l’m really happy to find your boat channel. Looking forward to seeing more boat fixing.
I don't own a boat, dont plan on getting a boat soon, but this is sure entertaining! Keep up your work!
Just came across your fishing channel and I've been loving it👍 I've been binge watching all the videos😆

Your vids are amazing keep up the good work
Thanks!
Excellent. I love your videos. Keep up the good work. 😀😀❤

I don't own a boat, and know nothing about them. I just love your tutorials, and figure you are a good way to start learning. I learned a ton about cars on your other channel. I cant wait to see more!
Awesome! Learning these skills also just helps in general with your ability to problem solve which is good!
Hi Chris, tx for that video. Greatings Michael
