Rob, Woooo Whooo...Boy, the infamous "Can I mount the transducer IN HULL" question !! About once a year this old chestnut pops up. Without getting into a heated discussion about whether... Mineral Oil in a tube.(IMHO Messy).... or.... Epoxy or Silicone glued ..to the inside hull.... is the "Best" way... Take a look at the following... http://www.ehow.com/how_5003392_install-hull-transducer.html (forgetting the instructions about "increasing speed" etc....)
**Anecdotal Disclaimer: I've used both Silicone and Epoxy as the "Glue" for Shoot Through (In Hull) transducer pucks. Both are still working well. The Silicone is on it's 20th year.

Well today i got the better of it and traced it's cable to it's point of origin only to find it isn't actually mounted to the hull but rather lying on it's side like a half dead Dorado. My question is this. can I mount it's face to the inside of the hull or must I cut and paste? Thanks -rob
