Here are 3 of the 6 new keelbolts

Here is the original depthfinder, which takes a large, 9 volt battery. If any one knows anything about this strange device, please let me know!

Did you say this depthfinder was original to "your" boat, or did you say it was original to a "UBoat"? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I don't know if this is what your looking for,but I'm sure the depth-finder is similar to the older Lowrance fish finders, where, when it's on, the inside of the thing will spin and a light will flash at the depth marked at each revolution.

I'd kind of like to get it working just to see what it does!

Do you have a transducer for it mounted on the hull?

Yes, the unit itself is mounted on the port side forward bulkhead. The transducer shoots through the fiberglass and is located under the v-berth.

It's kind of a crazy place for a depthsounder. I can't see it from the helm. I would have to place a crew person in the salon to call out depths when we are looking for an anchorage. Might as well put them on the bow with a lead line. It has several alarms so if I could hear that from the cockpit it might be OK. I have the original invoice for the boat. This was a factory installed option.

I have the original battery. It says "For Tube or Transistor radios".

Last night we soldered up 6, 9 volt batteries in parallel. I'll try it this weekend and see if it lights up the unit. If so, it's cheaper than a new depthfinder and we can always entertain people but letting them watch the lights.

Jim, I have an old depth finder that looks very similar to what you have. It is 12volt so I can't help you with the power situation. I very seldom use the unit. It sits in the same location you discribe, hard to see from the cockpit. It isn't easy to read. There seems to be a spinning light inside that lines up with the appropriate marking on the perimeter of the circular scales. I use a fish finder mounted in the cockpit for depth. My wife wants me to remove the old spinning unit so she can hang more art and stuff. I kind of like the old nautical look myself.
