Thanks Don but I can guaranty it will only be pretty for a while. I don't see Mel scrubbing the bilge after every trip and we all know what happens in the bilge stays in the bilge.

I will say that having a large bilge access has been a bonus for getting everything installed. We are considering a washdown pump and it looks like installing the through hull, strainer and valve will be a breeze. I also ran a fuse box in the center stern compartment for future use as well as pulling a couple of extra wires from the switch up front. Looking as some deep drop reels in the near future and putting in the power resources during construction should make it a lot easier on the back end.

Not a great shot but it is located 26" forward of the transom a 56" from the back of the bracket right dead center of the keel. The flat pad of the keel is the exact same width of the GT 51.

Wow, that is a big hunk of transducer! That thing could probably find MH 370. Just curious what happens (and hoping you don't) when you run around with that big dude hanging down there? Also, seems like it would be a huge hydrodynamic incumberance? Interfere with clean water to prop? Maybe I live in a cave, but I've never seen anything like that...
