Juliano; I had a 25, and I did exactly what you outline as the "green marker" option; we cut the bulkhead under the v-birth and put a teak cabinet frame and door there, (bought a prefab one from Defender Marine, but they are available in most any marine supplier now days) and installed the depth, (and speed) gauges in the hull; access was easy and we gained more storage space...: Richard s/v Bushmark4: 1085 C&C 37 CB; Ohio River, Mile 596;

I only had time to go to the boat this past weekend. Bill, the boat is a C&C 25 Here is an "annotated" drawing from Sailboat data that I will use for my questions: https://imgur.com/a/3Ar35Pb To me, there are three options (some easier than others) to cut the hull (2 inches round) and add the transducer: Red marker: At the moment, the original (I think?) depth sounder is located in the red marker *inside* the hull. Yellow marker: There is a small access port to the fibreglass on the yellow marker that *could* fit the depth/speed transducer. It feels very high on the hull and a bit fragile as the fitting would stick out of the access port and be a bit exposed (second picture of the link) Green marker: Last option, cut a square access *hatch* on the plastic liner wall (orange mark)that separates the "inside" of the boat from the fiberglass hull and then cut a hole on the green mark. Any mindhive thoughts? I am very nervous about making a hole in the wrong place :) Thanks!
