A big factor in buying a fishfinder is deciding whether to install it yourself or pay someone to do it for you. If you have never installed a fishfinder before this article will give you an overview of the general process. It is not intended to be a step by step guide for any particular fishfinder but it will give you an idea of whether or not you have the right skills to tackle the installation yourself.

Getting Started:
You can purchase fishfinder installation kits or assemble the components yourself using off the shelf products. The kit usually comes with some or all of the following components:

* A rubber grommet or water seal (for feeding the wiring from the transducer to the fishfinder display unit)
* Some extra wire
* A waterproof battery pack and battery pack bag
* A foam block (for mounting the transducer in the boat)
* A heavy duty marine sealant such as Marine Goop or Lexel

Your fishfinder unit may or may not come with an installation kit, but at the very minimum should contain:

* Fishfinder display unit
* A ram mount and mounting bracket (to attach the fishfinder display unit to the boat)
* Transducer and power cable

1. Mounting the Fishfinder Display unit

Determine where you will mount the fishfinder. Choose a location that makes it easy to reach while navigating the boat, and out of the way of any obstructions. Some installation mounts have back brackets which must be screwed on for stability. This type of mount requires you have access to the part of the boat underneath the mount so you can tighten the screws. You will need to drill holes for the mount and attach it securely. You can then insert the ram mount and fishfinder unit.

2. Installing the fishfinder transducer

There is more than one way to do this and it depends on your preference and on the type of fishfinder you purchased. Mounting a transducer inside the bottom of the boat involves cutting out a hole in a foam block designed to cushion the transducer. You attach the foam block using a good quality sealant and then insert the transducer in the foam block. The sealant must be applied carefully avoiding gaps and bubbles for the transducer to work correctly. An outside mount may require drilling a hole in the boat. You can use a rubber grommet or a waterseal and plenty of sealant to make the hole watertight. Alternatively you can mount the transducer on the the hull, at a point high enough to be in the water but out of the way of rocks or obstacles.

3. Wiring up the Fishfinder to the Transducer.
This step involves routing the power cable from the transducer to the fish finder display unit and may involve drilling another hole to keep the installation neat and tidy. Again, a grommet or waterseal may be needed.

4. The last step is wiring up the unit to the battery pack.

You may need to add additional lengths of wire depending on where you plan to stash the battery pack, the size of your boat etc. The batteries must be sealed in a waterproof container, such as a waterproof battery pack bag.

These are the basic steps required for installing a fishfinder. After you follow the four steps above, you can tidy up any loose wires with tie wraps and tuck them out of site. If you are handy with a drill and pair of wire crimpers it is easy enough to do but if the idea of drilling holes in your boat and crimping battery wires doesn’t thrill you it is well worth paying someone to install your fishfinder for you.

If you need a laser printer scanner or all in one device but you find that the ones available in the market are very expensive, I have a good suggestion that you can use. Why not try an inkjet printer that produces high quality printouts instead? The HP Officejet 6500 All-in-One Printer is the perfect device that can produce laser-quality printouts and also copies, faxes, and scans, for an overall excellent performance. This is an in-depth review of the device.

Design

This is a very simple printer which has a typical appearance of an all in one device. It has a combination of white and dark gray colors, and it has a top and side paper feeder. There are a lot of buttons which are all used for operating the device easier. The buttons are all labeled for better navigation and optimal operation. It’s not as bulky as other all in ones, though. It has the dimensions of 18.7” x 16.1” x 10.2” and a weight of 17.75 pounds.

The two-line LCD display shows the most important information you need to easily manipulate the device and monitor the operations that it performs. It’s very simple to use and it’s a lot preferable than the other newer models which have complicated operations.

Printing and Other Functions

This device can replace any laser printer scanner when it comes to the quality of prints. It can print an average of 32 pages per minute for black-ink documents and 31 pages per minute for colored documents. It doesn’t have automatic duplex printing function, though, which is an important feature that a lot of business owners look for. But it still prints excellently.

This is also a great photo printer. It can print borderless up 8.3” x 23.4” and you can also print on it without using a computer through the several memory card slots on the device. There are a lot of memory cards compatible to this device so you can have a lot of options for printing.

The copier has the same production speed as the printer itself, and it can produce 100 copies in a single setting. You can also reduce or enlarge your documents from 25% to 400% scale sizes.

There are two scanners – the flatbed and the ADF input. The ADF can scan documents up to legal size (8.5” x 14”) while the flatbed can scan up to letter size papers (8.5” x 11”). The resolution for optically scanned documents is 2400 dpi while for the enhanced scanning produces 19200 dpi.

The fax function is one plus for this printer. It produces output in as fast as three seconds per page and it can also accept up to 100 pages in a single transaction. You can save up to 100 contact numbers on the device. Other Features

The device is wired network-enabled so you can share the device with several computers within the same network. The device is also Energy Star qualified which means that you can save a lot of energy by using this device in place of another. One of the flaws of this model, though, is that it gets broken easily. So you have to be careful in handling it and you should also maintain its condition.

Conclusion

A laser printer scanner is commonly expensive, and it’s also very big and heavy. But the HP Officejet 6500 All-in-One Printer, although it’s only inkjet, can be as functional and high quality as laser printers. I highly recommend this device for those who want to have an excellent laser-quality all in one printer without the expense of a real laser printer or the bulk of it.
