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...

You'll rip it off with when you hit that rock again, moron. But, hey,it's
one more gadget to add, go for it amigo.

Way cheap man, you should buy something biult for a sailboat,
costs three times as much and only does on third of things the
fishfinder does.

I think the question is...would anyone besided Loco be bothered by the
non-flush transducer? Could cost be 2 knots!

ebonics?

But you already troll so well without it... why spend
the money?

Are you planning to catch fish? The block will have negligible effect on
speed. I have a Ray L760RC -it's very good.

I don't think the data goes out on seatalk. If you ever get a modern radar it
handy to repeat speed data on the screen. Don't you already have a proper
log? Just get a 265 and glue it on the inside of the hull.

Sounds like a real bargain. Go for it!

Could you get it chromed for an extra $10?

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.
