Hi,
I'm about to install an in hull transducer for my depth meter (works through my chart plotter) and wondered where others have placed their transducer. I don't want a transom mounted one.
Thanks in advance for your ideas and suggestions.

I just mounted one under the V berth in the center on our 23. I used the vaseline test method before I used epoxy. I had to sand through a little bubble in the glass to get to solid fiberglass. Many people use the toilet bowl wax ring method. Do a search on that one.

I mounted mine under the aft bed area, starboard side. I used plumbers putty to secure mine. It's been 3 years and has worked perfectly.

Guys,
Thanks for the quick response. I think from both of your comments I will test the effectiveness of placing it in a storage compartment forward of the keel to see if that works.
Appreciate the guidance.
