The transducer has to "see" water and the only way that can happen is
if it's in contact with the water.

Not true.

There are plenty of intallations where the transducer is mounted inside a
fiberglass hull and shoots through the hull. The last three boats I have
owned were set up that way. It definately cuts down the range it can reach,
but it doesn't need to be wet.

You are correct.

I misspoke.
