Re: Raymarine L125RC
Most companies make through-hull transducers that with a cant to allow for deadrise up to about 20 degrees, or you can cut a shim. There are also adjustable tranducers that you can set up for the deadrise you have. Think carefully about transducer location - many folks mount them toward the stern - more room to work back there, and less angle. You want the transducer to be in an area with smooth water flow over that part of the hull to get the best readings. I like the transducer toward the bow, so it sees things before versus after... Sometimes 30 feet can make a difference!
The only real downsides to shooting through the hull are a slight loss in resolution (not a big deal unless you are into serious fishing), and you don't get accurate water temperature readings if you have a transducer with a temp sensor. Carver hulls are not cored below the water line, so you can epoxy the transducer to the inside of the hull and get good sonar/bottom readings at either 50kHz, 200kHz, or in dual mode.
