Depth sounder liquid
 

Anyone Know what liquid goes in the receptacle of a thro' hull transducer, I
have been told Glycerine but not sure. Thank's. Peter

I always thought it was mineral oil.

Thank's guys I suppose that means engine oil, or is it a thinner oil that
you use. Peter

Mineral oil is usually taken as a laxative. It is a clear,
highly-refined oil, aka sewing machine oil.

Mine has water in it (and that's what was specified).

Which one do you have? I had a low-end fishfinder. Just sold the boat, and I
can't remember the brand.

Nope, not engine oil. Mineral oil can be found in any drug store and
most supermarkets. It's the base for baby oil and, as someone else
noted, a laxative.

I have a very old DataMarine unit. The transducer is a hemi-sphere the size of a bowling
ball (1/2 full of water), glued to the hull (of a Ranger 33 sailboat). The display had
Numitron display tubes, but they failed and I had to replace them with LEDs. It works
fine.
