[C38] gps transducer

[Phil Gay]

My depth transducer is glued right beside my knotmeter transducer under the
step in the v-berth.  This puts it near the centerline of the boat about a
foot in front of the keel.  I don’t think you have a step under the filler
of the v-berth of your 1983 model.  Immediately behind the water tank might
be a good location.  BTW I mounted my transducer in a puddle of silicone.
I’m glad I didn’t use epoxy because the transducer supplied with the kit was
faulty.  The Raymarine transducer reads up to 450’.  That comes only ¼ mile
away from the shore where I live.

       I have a new Garmin  500 series gps and I want to install a shoot
through transducer. According to the owners manual the hull needs to be
solid fiberglass and the hull can be no more than 5/8'' thick when using a
500 W transducer or no more than 1'' thick when using a 1kW transducer. My
hull is a 1983 year, does anyone know what the hull thickness is? Also has
anyone installed a shoot through hull transducer? If so what specific area
of the hull did you glue it down?
