Finally got round to fitting the anchor trolley and fitting the lowrance 4dsi.............. I used a neoprene ipad/laptop pouch to store and restrain the cables. For the power cable i used through deck 60mm gland/cable seal,up-side down. Having core drilled just the right dia for the power plug connector to go through. The bottom part of the gland fits nicely under the Lowrance mount... You need slightly longer bolts 5mm x 25 long with nyloc and 20/25mm dia repair "penny" washer for extra support. The battery also fits into a neoprene pouch and is secured/bound to the center support with velcro. The anchor trolley a simple and detachable system,with the clam cleat fixed by s/s pop-rivets and s/s washers underside. If anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Just a word of warning when using cable ties do not leave them like this as they will cut you to shredds ! ! ! And anything that comes into contact,especially something like your dry suit... In my line of work i could get a discipline for leaving a cable tie like this.....how sad is that,i know. But i've seen a work colleague cut badly and i mean cut blood everywhere and it was like a deep triple cut with a stanley blade.. Use a flush cutter as the one in the left side of pic... Hope you like the pic's,i downloaded a picture re-sizer its much easier.....
