[Rhodes22-list] Aside from the hurricaine...

[peter klappert]

I've installed the puck fish/depth-finder just as Bill Wickman describes. (I say "I" but it was done at the factory by the experts.) 

I'd been told it should be located forward, but that doesn't work on our boats because of the built-in flotation and hull shape.

As far as I know, no fish have been discovered in the factory floor.

I installed a fishfinder in lieu of a depthfinder because the cost was about the same anyway.  Instead of using a thru-hull, I bought one with the transom type "puck" and instead of mounting it on the transom I put it in the lazaret and mounted next to the cockpit drain hose using, of all things, wax from toilet bowl wax ring.  It has stayed put really well and provides accurate readings and I get to see all the fish that are under the boat.

I have also heard about other Rhodies installing the puck using epoxy, but I didn't want anything that permanent.  I have also heard of some that installed the puck sensor up front just in front of the bulkhead.

Do any of you-all Rhodies like to fish from your boat?  And if so have you
put a fishfinder on your Rhodes?  We are thinking of getting a fishfinder
chart plotter combination. Some of these have an "over the transom"
transponder - which seems like an interesting alternative to a thru-hull
mount.  Has anyone used one of these - do you recommend them?  Basically any
information on the topic of this equipment would be helpful for thinking
about fishing instead of hurricaines.
