Hi guys. Many thanks for your replies. I made a couple of calls to Lowrance dealers and it seems that although I paid for the complete kit of HDS9 with structure scan, the dealer only fitted the structure scan transducer and not the standard one!! A standard one has been sent to a local firm for them to fit at no cost to me. Although I got a great deal on the boat, it has been a pain trying to get a few initial issues sorted when the dealer is in Torquay! Lesson learned for when I decide to change the boat. Thanks again Elliot

Hi all Since taking delivery of my boat, the sonar and structure scan options on my unit have not worked. I have been very patient while various "technical" people have tried talking me through different settings, etc but to no avail. I was told last week that they think my transducer is faulty and they would send another to be fitted locally. Today, they have changed their minds and said I need an additional (standard) transducer to work with the structure scan transducer. Does this sound right to those of you that are more technically aware than me? Does anyone else have the structure scan kit and do you have 2 transducers? Many thanks in advance of replies. Elliot

Lovely morning in Torquay for the boat handover. Blowing 5-6 straight into torbay! Going to be interesting for my first trip out on her. Glad I didn't opt to motor around the coast to Poole! See you all out soon! Elliot

I agree, but I want to guarantee she is here by the end of the month instead of hoping for a good weather window to bring her round the coast. The recent winds have made my mind up for me. Elliot

Hi all....just a quick update. Boat is being rigged with engine and electronics this week and I am going down to Torquay for the handover next Friday. She will then be delivered to Parkstone Bay Marina (by road) the following week! Have saved plenty of holiday for short notice days off when the weather looks good! Looking forward to meeting you guys shortly. Cheers Elliot

Thanks Allan, appreciate it. I had narrowed the boat choice down to the MF 755 Marlin or the Quicksilver 755 Captur Pilothouse. However, taking into account the wife's requirements (I do sometimes!) I decided on the non Marlin version. Look forward to meeting you soon. Would be good to hear about your experiences so far. Cheers Elliot

Thanks to everyone for kind words/offers of help. Unfortunately, I am unable to attend the BBQ but I will certainly attend future events and join those that like beer and wine! I am sure the next few weeks are going to go really slowly until the boat arrives, especially if the settled weather stays!! Will keep you posted. Cheers Elliot
