Hull thickness on S2 8.0
- Thread starter hargadine00
- Start date
on my 9.2A when i put some through hull fittings it is 9/16 to 5/8 thick...but around the stuffing box tube that goes through the hull it was about 3/8 thick at the thinnest part...i would think that there is no much differance in the two hulls are close in size.... you cane always drill a 1/8 hole in it and see how thick it is with a 3/32 welding rod ..and then fill it back up with marine tex or thickened epoxy if it is some thing you have to be totally sure about.....

Thanks! I am debating between a thru hull and shoot thru the hull transducer. It has 1 thru hull already for the datamarine depth finder, but I want to add another more modern depth finder/gps combo. I would like to leave the datamarine installed as a backup. The shoot thru hall transducer I found has a "limit" of 1/2 fiberglass. So that is the nature of my inquiry.
Thanks again for your information.
Thanks again for your information.
get the through shoot through one and mount it with a toilet bowl wax ring and see if it will work and if not exchange it for a through hull one ......

I would try the shoot thru and if it doesn't work exchange it. Try a thick hair gell from dollar store as it can be cleaned w/ water. Toilet wax works but is messier
I shoot through the bottom of my 8.0c just fine with my Eagle Cuda 350 fish finder/depth/gps. I use the toilet bowl wax ring method. No problems in 3 years. My 9 year old gets a kick out of the 'fish' symbols that show up as we sail. Ha!
