Huge_Vitae

Fitted about my fourth finder to my boat about 6 months ago, I have always used silicon without any problems at all. Get a tube of silicon and cot the whole end off, not just the pipe but the whole end of the tube, when squeezed out the silicon comes as a huge lump without any bubbles or gaps. put it where you want to fix and make a large great dollop of silicon twice the size of you transducer. gently push transducer all the way in. leave for 24 hours and away.

Easy enough Chesters. Save the images from left to right as jpeg1 jpeg2 etc etc. thatway I have a reference and can piece them together. If it don't work what have you lost?

1) as per my post, the quality will degrade but the larger the picture the further away you view it so that the perception is for a similar quality photo. 2) Slide film has 300 levels of brightness compared to negative film's 100. Slide fils therefore gives a clearer better picture, however once made into a print, the paper can only accept 100 levels of brightness so the advantage is lost. 3) Slide film can be printed easily although in this day and age most of it is done digitally by scanning the slide and printing it with 3 colour laser printers. The best print you can have of a slide is a cibachrome print which is expensive and usually done incorrectly. 4) A colour negative film will be marked 'C41' a slide film will be marked with an E number dependant on process.

Oh God.... How easily we are influenced by advertising.

How big are the images Chesters, I only have dial up (for another 2 months) if they are smallish, you can send them to me one at a time, if large maybee you could burn them to a CD. It's just a matter of making multiple opaque layers in photoshop.

A bloke starts his new job at the zoo and is given three tasks. The first is to clear the exotic fish pool of weeds. As he does this a huge fish jumps out and bites him. To show the others who's boss, he beats it to death with a spade. Realizing his employer won't be best pleased he disposes of the fish by feeding it to the lions, as lions will eat anything. Moving on to the second job of clearing out the Chimp house, he is attacked by the chimps who pelt him with coconuts. He swipes at two chimps with a spade, killing them both. What can he do? Feed them to the lions, he says to himself, because lions eat anything. He hurls the corpses into the lion enclosure. He moves on to the last job which is to collect honey from the South American Bees. As soon as he starts he is attacked by the bees. He grabs the spade and smashes the bees to a pulp. By now he knows what to do and throws them into the lion's cage - because lions eat anything. Later that day a new lion arrives at the zoo. He wanders up to another lion and says, "What's the food like here?" The other lions say, "Absolutely brilliant. Today we had fish and chimps with mushy bees."

In Photoshop you can do it easily chesters, If you cant figure or still unsuccesful give me a shout and I will do it for you.

Don't do it like that myself anymore Toerag as I can't bend down!!! Like you say, blast frozen baits from ammo work better, but nothing beats the real live thing. Not making life difficult for myself matey, you can have endless fun chasing the little buggers and it's good sport! I used to spend hours with an old fork tied to a stick chassing flatties around Newport Harbour, never ever caught one but the fun was in the chase.

This was the post I was referring to not the mneumonic post. Freeze the balls off a brass monkey was a term used in the Navy which 'came ashore' later. As for the general use of Mnemonics, In actual fact they have been around in the Military for considerably longer. Two funny ones that I remember. The definition of 'Drunk' Pupils Dilated Incoherent speech Smell of Intoxicating Liquor Staggering and unsteady on feet Eyes Glazed Dilated pupils And following changes to the sexual offences Act allowing sex between 2 males subject to.... Private (must not occur in a public place} Over 21 (both parties must be over the age of 21 Only 2 can play (obviously 3 or more was weird) Free consent, (both parties must consent)

Snatch, Use a blunt knife to gently move across the sand when it has a very small covering of water like an inch or so. When the blunt knife touches them they will dart off, be quick and you will catch them (dependant on reactions and amount of Millers in blood stream ) Low tide and calm conditions. Yup, pop them in a bucket of sea water from where you have caught them. Lay them out individually on a tray so they arn't touching and freeze them. When frozen then pop them in a box or bag. Although I have to say that frozen eels are not a patch on fresh/live. Better to catch a few at a time as your freezer is not as good as the blast freezer the bait commercials use.

On that subject Salar.......... two lads fishing Newport Harbour Friday...... One pulls in a nine pound bass, (witnessed by the harbourmaster,) lad goes back to his car, gets his camera and scales. Fish is weighed and photo'd before being returned alive........ I don't know who you are mate, but if the message gets to you get on AN. Saturday night Newport Quay is covered by fisherpeople but only a few eels caught. Bream here soon Salar............

and not to forget............... freeze the balls off a brass monkey

WOW.............. my first double post and on dial up too :confused:

And if you get a post from Kendo..... you don't know anything about nappies.... Snatcher, and you hate Miller........ And the majority of the rest........ you have never seen a mullet and do not know where they are at the moment

HEY!!!!!!!!!!! I said *****, not ****.......... darn the power of modern computers

Wiggles, It's only a minority...... it's close season.......... there is an election......... the pope is dead....... weather has been *****..........

It is still worth doing it properly... you can save yourselves a lot of money as it is a basic conversion rate ie. something that is $5 retail in the staes will sell here for £5 :mad: But please remember the 'NICE' people at HMCE would still be leaving our hanged and dismembered bodies in gibbets at the crossroads if they could A 'small' personal import will cost you nothing at all.......... How do you think I am currently getting on with customs trying to import something labelled.... secret weapon and bomb If I was an international terrorist I would undoubtedly mark my customs label as 40 kilos of C4 explosive or Kalashinikov assault rifles

Welcome to AN Doc, As far as I am concerned I only ever miss with the first round............ the next one will be smack on

Bob, Chances are if you write it in today...... It will appear in the election manifesto tomorrow.

Just been down to Wootton Creek, Mullet everywhere, came in yesterday apparently. Some nice sized ones there. I certainly wont be fishing for them though.

the levy of fishing tackle is 3.7% so two lures will cost you about £7 + postage
