Recently purchased a 2008 SW 2100. I love the boat but am still learning the set up. 1. A picture of the switches on the dashboard is attached. The plug (cigarette lighter plug) to the right of the rocker switches recently stopped working? I suspect I blew the fuse. Where do I find the fuse so I can check it? 2. A picture of the backside of the transom is attached. The transducer is visible to the right of the motor and immediately below the bottom of the power pole. The prior owner installed the transducer in this location. Is this a reasonably decent place to position the transducer?

Below the plug and the switches are resetable breakers, push it back in to reset. The transducer is probably fine where it is but you could move it further halfway between the pole and the center with no issues, I'd sugest using a "Stern Saver" if you move it to prevent having to drill holes.

X2 what gnrphil said about the plug... As for the transducer...as long as it stays submerged, it should work where it is but that's not the ideal location since it's almost directly below your power pole and a power pole can flex a little in rough water when it's fully deployed and where it's located now will be in the way of installing trim tabs should you decide to.. (and believe me, they would be the best investment you could make on that hull) I'd do as phil suggested and move the transducer closer to the boat's center line.

Those plugs don't last forever, if the resettable breaker doesn't fix it, it might be time. Make sure if you replace it that you replace it with a marine one. I don't think I'd move the transducer unless it's not working for you where it is.
