Transom Mounted Transducer Placement

[Eric McNiff]

SEC - can you elaborate on that? I am trying to decide between a transom mount and a thru hull. Where did you mount it - in the bilge close to the bottom of the bait well?

Do you use a standard bronze thru hull transducer?

I heard you are supposed to mount it in a reservoir of oil (vegitable?) so the signal has something to be transfered through? Or can you shoot right through the hull?

I had my doubts about the performance, but when I read your reply I am having second thoughts.

Thanks
