Depth Finder Woes

Recommended Posts

I need some suggestions from everyone please. I just bought a second depth finder for the console of my boat. I have one already mounted to the trolling motor. Here's the problem: My wife is my partner and says that if I drill the boat, she won't fish in it. I have an aluminum Sea Ark. Basically a Tracker with different decals. Can someone suggest how to mount the transducer without drilling?

Just silicone or epoxy it to shoot through the hull. Or mount it on the stern like you would but dont drill any holes, Use a high strength epoxy. Ive done both and they work just fine.

Holes in a boat relaly ar eno big deal, You just have to seal them well. Really more water is going to come in the boat over your gunwalls and such than is leaking through a slightly unsealed hole.

As long as your bilge works........

Get a new wife ........... :):lol::)

Seriously ........ I would epoxy a piece of starboard to the stern and screw the transducer bracket into it. If you epoxy the bracket right to the stern, it is essentially there for the life of the boat and that becomes a problem when you change your depthfinder periodically. By screwing it into the starboard, you can change and remove the transducer bracket anytime and you haven't drilled holes in the boat.
