Anyone in this forum have any experience trying this?
I have a new Garmin GPS chart plotter still in the box since last Christmas. I want to mount the "transom style" transducer inside the hull and "shoot thru" the fiberglass hull. I DON"T want to pull the boat and put yet another hole in it.
I've read in other forums that this has been done succesfully by several means including:
A 3" or 4" PVC pipe well filled with mineral oil
Siliconing the transducer face directly to the interior of the hull
Toilet bowl wax? Less permanant, quick and cheap
Epoxying the transducer instead of silicone, permanant
I guess the trick is to have it as level as possible and no air bubbles between the transducer face and the hull.
Anyone?
