[Rhodes22-list] Transducer Installation

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I have a depth sounder/fish finder transducer mounted in the location Rummy describes, but actually placed right next to the drain instead of behind it.  I set the transducer in toilet ring wax (used to seal a toilet around the drain pipe).  It's been two or three years and still works great.

That helps. From my vast experience I have discovered that each and every
boat sits in the water differently depending on weight on the boat and where
 it's placed. I don't have all that fancy crap, but if I did, I would mount
the  transducer in the lazzerette directly behind the cockpit drain hose.
There are  several schools of thought on how to mount it in there and perhaps
some  knowledgeable skipper will speak up. My recollection is to epoxy it
in place or  another method uses mineral oil. I will attempt to attach the
article to this  email.

Rummy,

I'm not sure what you mean, but it is a 50/200 Mhz  and it will be used
primarily for depth readings, but it would be nice to  see the bottom
structure, too.
