Hi folks - I’m looking to remove my original Data Marine instruments and
wow did they find the most difficult place to install the depth and speed
transducers. I’m going to leave the depth in and replace the speed
transducer with a new airmar transducer.
I’ve been able to unscrew the old transduce
Had to replace depth and speed sensors back in 2012 and I believe after I got
the senors out, I had to cut the plastic sleeves to break them loose from the
hull. Mine were flush mounted and faired in, so I think I ground away the
fairing using a dremel, and then used a hacksaw blade on a handle
I did exactly as described by Chuck a while back. Sliced the plastic
vertically with a saw blade and then pounded the sections loose. Fortunately
for me, the new one was the same size as the old one, so I did not have to cut
a new hole. Dave

Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can install two hole saws on the same
mandrel. One the size of the existing hole as a guide and a second one the
size of the hole you want to drill. Otherwise, use Chuck's method.

There’s also a tool for this (within a certain range). I bought one a few
years ago.

Or, as an alternative, you can go to Harbor Freight (and probably Lowes or Home
Depot) and buy what is called a "Step Bit". It is a basically cone shaped drill
with several steps which have a cutting edge for each larger diameter step.
