I tried using the silicone adhesive again and this time got a good
bond. (Bonding the base of an in-hull Airmar transducer to the hull.)
Filled with mineral oil (calling this the "medium") as per
instructions.
Here is what is happening. At low speeds, readings are good,
no misses, but at high speed, I get quite a few false readings, both
too high and too low. Is this a problem with in-hull vs thru-hull (I
seemed to get fewer false readings at high speed with the old
Datamarine transducer) OR is it related to bubbles in the medium or
improper contact between the transducer and the medium? I see
a lot written here about good choices for the medium (marmalade?)
Some ideas here would be most appreciated as usual.
Thanks to all for your past help. Looks like we're coming to the
end.
