I recently pulled the trigger on a garmin echomap Chirp 50 chartplotter/depthfinder for my Mac 25. My question regards the transducer for the depthfinder. I would most prefer to mount it inside the hull and shoot the signal through the fiberglass, thus eliminating having the transducer outside to provide a surface for marine growth, and be subject to impact damage. I have seen the hockey puck style transducers epoxied into boats and work nicely. My transducer is more torpedo shaped
Does anyone have any experience in epoxying one of these into the hull of their boat? What is the best location? I would expect you wouldn't want it anywhere near the swing keel. I was thinking of mounting it forward under the vberth.
