But the risk of a leak in the engine room was not appropriate. Now, with any transducer leaks contained in the extension we are able to fit the aft transducer and not have the worry that otherwise would go with it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/FPD-64-swim-step-extension-details-801.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"FPD-64-swim-step-extension-details-801.jpg\" width=\"576\" height=\"384\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Retrofitting is, of course, more complicated than when you know this is coming from the beginning. In this case Circa are extending the various exhausts which protrude from the existing transom. The extension then bolts up to the studs projecting from the plate which has been welded on to the transom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Within the next few days FPB 64 #3 will be ready to start sea trials.
