Default Re: Thru hull ducer - revisited

Ha Rick
I have the 23’ CC and did what you are talking about on my transducer I used the Fureno 600 unit though. I cut through the center wood stringer like you are talking about then cut the football hole out of the bottom of the boat like you are talking about at the center line. I did not make a mold like you are thinking of I used a template of the football and cut fiberglass sheeting that was approx ¼ “ thick and about 8” x 12” long I cut about 4 or 5 of them cut the football hole out the middle and then epoxy them all together. Giving the same effect as you are talking about. Only difference they fit in the inside of the boat. On the top one I just had the hole big enough for the nut to clamp onto. I put glass clough over the top of the little box and epoxyed it all in place on the inside of the boat. On the bottom of the boat if fits flush with the boat bottom on the top or inside of the boat the rest of it fits in place I used 4200 to seal it up and it’s done. IT WORKS GREAT. Shoots straight down and I get readings at 40 mpr no problems I also can reed the bottom at 1500’ on a unit that really isn’t designed to reed that deep. YOUR MOLD OR THIS WAY IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT AND YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY WITH HOW IT WORKS. You don’t have to be concerned about the stringer as far as support to the transom it is to small to make any difference as far as the transom goes and you don’t have to worry about any flex either.
