Hi Duane
We placed a P79 in the fwd cabin, right up front under the floor - off centre to the Stbd side as an extra backup (and/or early warning which travelling slowly fwd into shallower water as it is about 2m fwd of the one outside the front heads). It is normally switched off, as it makes a clicking noise in the front cabin when on.
Anyhow, to get to the point, we simply sanded the gelcoat a little to smoothen it off totally, not to remove any of it. The unit works perfectly like that.
Cheers
Colin - SV Island Pearl II sm #332 Maldives, soon to head for Chagos

Bill,
Thanks. I would bet it is paint, why brush on gelcoat? and then it has to come off.
