I have a Humminbird fishfinder on my boat. I mounted the transducer
inside in a bed of clear silicone against the bottom of the hull. No
thru hull at all, and it works great. No temp or speed readout, but
for under $100 it shows the fish, and the bottom contours just fine.

And that's a transom mount transducer you used?

I don't know if this setup would work for
you. My hull is not cored, but I believe yours is.


I think my hull is only cored above the Water line. Maybe I'll give it a try.

You should find out if your boat was cored - I would guess yes because
Hinterhoeller seemed to like that. However, they would have put some "hard
spots" in just for mounting sensors.

It won't do any good, blubber boys' 'fish-finder' will always be pointing to
him.

I have a Hummingbird mounted the same way. I use it for Crabbing. I look
at the bottom and anchor about 10 feet off the kelp and drop my baited
trap on the clear sand. Works great, also used for my depth finder on
the inside helm station

Sorry Nutsy,

Forgot to mention it is a thru hull transducer I've mounted on a wedge
to made it look straight down. It's mounted forward of the keel, in the
V-berth locker.

I was going to put mine forward also, but I figured it would take more
of a beating up there and could potentially get stepped on. Where I
have it is almost impossible to touch no less get stomped.
