Or even how for that matter.


Anywhere below the waterline.

A common place is on the centerline under the V-berth. Personally, I
like to put depthsounder transducers in tubes but a lot of people don't
like holes in the hull.

You can put the transducer in a "wet box" installation which doesn't
require a hole in the hull. No holes, but it's more difficult to adjust
properly and may not work as well some of the time. It's the same as
putting it in a tube, but no hole in the hull. Since fiberglass carries
sound waves excellently, leave the hull intact and just fill the tube
with glycerol (I've also heard of people using Crisco). Put the
transducer in.
