Funny you say that...... The ONLY time my depth transducer acted up was in the Patapsco. It would bounce between 2.5 and the true depth. It doesn't happen to me anywhere else.
Also, if you go with a
chartplotter/
fishfinder combo, shop around. Many of the cos. building them make a variety of transducers for their units, both thru hull and external. You may be able to get a thru hull transducer that fits your current hole. That would make for a good winter project if you haul out for winter. Here is one example:
Garmin 500 series has quite a few different bronze thru hull transducers available that are compatible with the unit. Check the accessories tab.

I'm sure
Raymarine has similar offerings.
