not if you are planning on doing any serious fishing it isn't.

Tom,
Do you always transom mount the transducer or have you actually drill a
hole through the hull (ouch)?


on the contender i have both. on the ranger, transom mount and thru
hull - thru glass. thru glass sucks.

Do you use both on the contender due to turbulence while underway? Why
haven't you bite the bullet on the ranger and cut a hole for the transducer?

I do not have a fish finder, just a depth gauge on my boat. For just
reading depth, I have had no problems, but it is solid glass.
