[Public-List] In-Hull Transducers

[Roy Jarnagin]

I am also a fairly new Alberg owner, so I'm a little reluctant to offer 
words of wisdom. I can't add anything to the question of where to mount the 
transducer. I put mine under the port settee aft the head bulkhead.

I have a friend who has a business servicing yachts in Tahiti. He helped me 
install the transducer for my new Garmin chartplotter. We bought a little 
tub of plumbers putty at the hardware store. He made a "patty" a little 
larger than the face of the transducer with the putty. Then he pressed the 
"putty patty" to the hull and then pressed the transducer into the putty. So 
far it is working fine. This only costs about $5 and takes about 5 minutes 
to install. If you don't like the result you can just scrape the putty off 
and try something different.

Hi All,



As a new Alberg 30 owner I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year. I'm
sure mine is going to be exciting.



I am planning on installing a new depth sounder with an in-hull transducer
and would like to know if anyone else has done so, and if so, where did you
determine the best location for the transducer.



Thanks for any help you can provide.



Cheers,
Bongo Bob Norway
