I plan on installing a depth sounder with a in hull puck transducer. Has
anyone installed one of these and if so can it be tested out of water? I'm
going to install it on my boat in my driveway and want to test the position
before I epoxy it down.

Thanks

Just in case you aren't aware, it will not work at all thru metal hull.



Thanks for all the replies. It's a fiberglass hull. I actually went to
the factory when they were building it and they showed me where they
double lap the glass.

I don't want one to hang off the stern because it would just look
cleaner being hidden. Just looks that's all. If I can't get the puck to
work I would probably buy one.

The sounder is just a depth sounder not a fish finder/sounder. I like
the idea of the bag of water.

I'm going to call the dealer and see what their experiences with this
boat are. Maybe they can point me to a spot that has worked for them in
the past.

Thanks again.

Larry, mine is off the stern. Once the boat is in its natural habitat,
i.e., water, the stern mount is not noticeable at all.
