Can you mount a Fishfinder transducer inside a hull?
      07/08/2008 11:24

We've got an Eagle Cuda 168 fishfinder but don't want to mount the transducer on the hull as it will create turbulence and I don't want anymore holes in the bottom! The manual says it can be mounted in hull but no matter where I try it, I can't get a good signal, it comes up with random figures, all way over the depth. I tested the unit with the transducer over the side and it was spot on. The hull is sold GRP and is a very very sharp V angle with a flat section on the inside of the V (HT27 Cat). Any suggestions? What should I try connecting it with ( I tried rubber sealant but that was a complete no-go). I also tried putting some water in the bilge and immersing it in that to test it, still random figures.

Thanks for any suggestions
