Default Re: Thru Hull Transducer location?

FWIW, I've just converted my skimmer transducer into a shoot through hull after the plastic transom bracket broke. I used 4 inch PVC sealed against the hull with playdough to create a temporary well in the bilge, dropped in the transducer, added water and voila, excellent reading FF at WOT of 35 knots.

When mounted on the transom, I lost the signal at about 30 knots, which was pretty respectable too.
