Cored hull?
Has anyone used the transom mount transducers? Not a lot of room there where it could be mounted with not interference from teh wash/wake?
Thanks!

Re: Cored hull?
Don't use transom mount, they're not ideal for inboard applications.
See my recent post on 406 Navionics upgrade

I have the Garmin Transducer GT54UHD-TM and a Airmar M66 transducer (Re-used existing for 50/200 Mhz).
I get a great result at all speeds withe the TM. If you want to see a video, I can make one on my next outing.

Re: Cored hull?
FYI.....I have epoxied a lowrance wide angle transducer to the inside of a cored hull and it worked just fine. The above is the method I used to find a good spot first.....good luck.

I second this method. I’ve secured more than a few transom mount transducers with clear silicone adhesive to the bottom of the bilge and got accurate readings for depth. Water temp readings will be close enough for government work.
