Thru Hull Transducer location?

[strick]

Great comments.
I brought back the fairing block and got a transom mount. I'll need temp because were are going for tuna on Tues. I'm keeping my Thru Hull transducer and may mount it in the future if I'm not happy with the Transom mount. I guess every boat is different in it's own way and what worked for one boat may not work for another boat. Kinda like finding the right load for your deer rifle. I never had a problen with the thru hull in my other boat the way it was mounted.... worked at all speeds and turns. I just did not like the fairing block sticking down because I envisioned it hitting a log or getting on the trailer somehow. 5200 is some strong stuff and I don't think you could blow the fairing block off with TNT once it is mounted and cured. A buddy of mine is trying another way to mount his thru hull. It's a big transducer and the fairing block would have been too big for his Formula 233 check it out. http://thehulltruth.com/6/ubb.x?a=tp...634#7446009634

Thanks Capt Brad.

You're right they do work better on the out side edges of the transom. I had to use heavier tabs on my Robalo. My fish box is in the port bow and when I would compensate for the added weight it "cupped" the port tab. I'd had them on the boat for over a year and Bennett replaced them for free.

I hope the ol' Robalo is sold. I got a good bite oni it this week and I'm going to take him for test ride Sunday. It's a nice boat, but it ain't no SeaCraft!
