Transducer location....?
I've got a transducer in my Challenger. I got the info from Kustomkarl on how he did his and it worked for me. So, I think it's generic for any boat owner that doesn't want it outside.
You'll need to be in shallow water or on the trailer. I did mine on the trailer. I did not put my plugs in and slowly backed my boat into the water until there was sufficient water over the fiberglass (about 1/2"). Then, I put the transducer in the hull, with the power on. Moved it around the bottom until the transducer gave me a good sounding. Then, I marked it with a red crayon. Then, pulled the boat out of the water.......rushed home to wash that crappy water out of my bilges!.....:rofl:
But, after doing that, I used epoxy to get a smooth fit in the boats hull and mine has worked fine now for over a year.:cheers:
When you put it in, the most important thing is not to have any bubbles in your compond during the setting. This will cause it to not work........:cheers:
