I have a 96 24' Outlaw. I love the boat but the depth finder I have come to dislike a great deal. It will read false depths and then will go back to zero. This last Saturday it just read zero the whole day. Is there any information that anyone has that could help me? Considering that the boat is a 96 should I just go through and replace the entire thing? I hate to throw money at a problem but this is my first boat and I like having a rough idea of how deep the water is that I am in.
Another question that I have is on props. I currently have a Mercury Mirage Plus 21P. I would like to go to a bigger prop, 23P. I have talked to several people that have boats similar to mine and they say that a 4 blade is the way to go. They also tell me that it will get rid of most of the chine walking problem. I have a 365hp 454mag motor and it has no problem what so ever pulling the 21P. My question is, Would the 23P 4-blade be too much or not enough for my boat.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric
