I will give it a try. I just bought a Humming bird Fish FInder and was wondering how to mount the transducer… your method sounds interesting. I will give it a try.

I had to add water once but no big deal. The transducer works much better with the water added. I am in Florida on vacation this month so I haven't been fishing for a couple of months. I plan on using new plumber's putty for the coming season. One thing I'm going to work on is a different setup for holding the rods. With the rods sticking up I have had problems with hitting them in my back cast. Also I found that when I reach back (turn my body) to change rods it gets a little tippy. If I come up with a solution I will take pictures and post them. Bob The plumber’s putty is working just fine. I had to add water once but no big deal.

Any problem with the water evaporating? If it's working, it's a great idea; I'm in the process of rigging a 'yak now and firmly believe simpler is better, IF it works!

With 200 kHz frequency. 800 watts peak-peak power; 100 watts RMS power. I'm not sure what all that means but I have plenty of power, actually I have to much power because I have to turn down the sensitivity. The unit has a depth capability of 600 feet. And this is a low end model, only $80.00 at Bass Pro Shop. I would say the decrease in range by going through the hull is minimal. Keep your hooks sharp, Bob S I am using an “Eagle Cuda 300″ fish finding sonar. With 200 kHz frequency.
