Any suggestions for in hull depth sounders for use on a Pearson P40?
I'm pickin' up what you're puttin' down, CN27, but there's no such thing as "too many options." That's like The Admiral saying "I've got nothing to wear!" :laugherI'm wrestling with this same issue.
Depth sounder vs. Fish Finder? In hull vs thru-hull transducer?....
Gah! Too many options!
(Maybe I should start my own thread.)
That's easy for you to say! Try plain water in the pipe where we get five months of "hard water". It was -38 C at one point this past winter.and plain water works just fine), secure the transducer.
You can epoxy the transducer directly to the hull as long as the hull is not cored. http://www.epoxyworks.com/indexprojects.html
click "boat repair and restoration" , then scroll down to "depth sounder installation"
I think you'll find that while a depth sounder is repairable, a transducer is sealed in epoxy and replaceable, not repairable in most cases if not all.
