This can't be bob... too intelligent sounding.

 The electrolysis will be ghastly. That unit uses the bronze casing as
 electrical ground for the transducer and also attempts to isolate it from
 battery ground noise by some filtering circuitry. The case ground and
 battery ground will not be at the same potential and will cause floating
 ground electrolysis.
 Use a transducer that sends through the hull.

  I'm thinking of adding a Ray 365 Fishfinder to Alien. I can get one new
 with a
  bronze thu-hull for 169.00.
  It does speed, temp and depth, but the bronze thru hull protrudes from
the
 hull
  with the fairing block and that sort of bugs me. It's a great deal
 though...
  Comments??
