2017 first boat ride on the beautiful Potomac River - Johnson 90 hp

What an amazing beautiful spring like weather in winter! 2017 first boat ride - took my boat out on the beautiful Potomac River for a test drive after 4 improvements in 2016.

• Fixed my reverse steering after installing the Hydraulic steering system.
  
  
  
• Installed a Craigslist bought non-working wireless Motorguide 75 pound push trolling motor.
  
  Also bought a handheld remote control to go with it and ditch the foot control that came with the trolling motor
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Installed a wise economic fishing chair and 7" pedestal in the back of my boat.
  
  
  
  
  
• Fixed my tilt and trim so I can tilt my Johnson 90 hp from the remote control.

How to remove a dried and cured epoxy glued fishfinder transducer for Humminbird DX 200?

The weather is finally warm enough to do some DIY project. I decided to removed a dried and cured epoxy glued transducer inside my boat hull. It was not measuring the depth of the lake and river. Not sure whether there was bubble in between the boat transom and the transducer. In any case, time to remove it and redo the placement using slow setting epoxy instead of the 5 minutes quick setting epoxy which I used last time.

Tools I used

• pry bar,
  
  
  
  
• utility knife
  
  
  
• and 1" putty knife
  
  
  
• and heat gun
