Re: [Cal_Boats] no-thru hull transducer

Nexus_Silva use to make an inside transducer mount - looked like a top hat. These may still be available. Mount glued inside hull, filled with oil, then xducer mounted. I had my depth xducer silicone to the hull, inside the hanging closet.

Get an end cap sized for the pipe you use, or even a threaded joint adapter and a threaded end cap. Cut a hole in the end cap to fit the transducer. This will keep the mineral oil from sloshing around while offering a secure mount for the xducer. td -----Original Message----- From: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com [mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of carlos Solanilla Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 9:29 AM To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Subject: [Cal_Boats] no-thru hull transducer I purchased a while back a Charlie Morgan sailboat that had a thru hull transducer but it was mounted inside a pvc pipe that was cut at an angle and sealed with what I think is 5200 glue. The previous owner told me he use mineral oil as the conductive medium between the hull and the transducer crystals. . <http://portal.mxlogic.com/images/transparent.gif> DISCLAIMER: Important Notice ************************************************* This e-mail may contain information that is confidential, privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.

I have a Garmin fish finder I purchased for 1000 ft salt water. I troll the Sea Mounts off SoCal. I sent a email to Garmin asking about silicone and they recommend something like West Marine two part epoxy to mount the transducer inside the hull.
