[Rhodes22-list] Ahoy! (boat talk, right?)

[Goodness]

I have poured epoxy in to mount transducers in the past, but a liquid (antifreeze) filled void Would make it easier to replace, as long as hard sailing didnt pour it out and it is otherwise firmly attached.

The latter finally directed me to the one place in the installation instructions where the solution is provided (in  tiny type): you need to fill the cup the sounder sits in with 2.4 oz propylene glycol.

Anyway, give me your versions of best places to mount the data head and transducer.  I like the Laz, but where in it? (forward in the compartment seems best to me.)  If I go with a location under the cabin floor, where there?  Am I good in the bilge or should I go more forward near the water tank?  I am looking forward to the usual best advice.  Se ya where it's wet.
