Glacier Bay Owners, a T-Ducer Install question MrPat,
The only real location on a 26GB to install a t-ducer of that size is in either hull at the transom in the well area in front of either engine. Its a major job and would be much easier with the engine off the boat. Its very hard to reach down in there and do a good job on the install with the motor mounted.
We install the Ray Marine supplied Air-Mar transom mounted triducers with excellent results. Starboard side hull, outboard of the engine and install it in the location the owners manual suggests. The only difference we do is mount the bracket all the way down to where it is at the bottom of the hull and that in turn extends the t-ducer way down in the water. You have to have a qaulity t-ducer to get away with this because the cheap ones will kick up from the extra water pressure.
If you are going to order your new boat it might be a good idea to supply your selling dealer with the M260 t-ducer and have Glacier Bay install it for you (which they probably would).
