I think this is the newer version of what I installed http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/ 247392/0/0/depthsounder/All_2/mode+matchallpartial/0/0
Sorry no pics of the actual installation. My C27 is a dinette model and I glued the pvc pipe (just a piece of 4" diameter about 4 inches in length-I think it's the male adapter you mentioned) in the void under the dinette table. On this pic http://www.lesleyquin.com/downthehatch.jpg it would be just under where the post holding the table up is. A PO put an access hatch under the table that makes it easy to check but it was a bit of a $%^&$$## to install. Basically I had to do it all by feel. Once the pipe was solidly attached I just gooped the Vasaline into the pipe, stuck the puck into the pipe and wiggled it around until I got a good transmission signal. I think it's a margarine tub lid glued over top to keep the grease inside. So far so good. If I had my druthers I'd put it further aft as near the centerline as possible. Hope this helps.

Also what size pvc did you use. I've heard of using a 4" pvc male adapter, gluing it under the port settee as far forward as possible and filling it with mineral oil, and then screwing on a female type 4" end cap. The vasoline sounds like a better idea. Where did you locate the puck and do you have any pictures? I've been trying to get the time to install my 250C Garmin that I was going to mount on a swinging arm just inside the cabin on the starboard side so it can be viewed from the wheel (hopefully) and also so it will swing inside out of the weather when not in use. My buddy is a blue water delivery captain and when we sailed from La Paz to Mazatlan the arrangement was really handy.

Works great and as it is against the hull stays cool and doesn't melt and make a mess (at least up here in the Pacific Northwest).
