Fitting Transducer thro' steel hull

Fitting Transducer thro\' steel hull

Need to replace my ageing Seafarer Echosounder and have removed old transducer from my steel hull. This was secured in a vertical steel tube welded in position thro' the hull.

Has anyone any thoughts/recommendations on the best to buy and whether one type or the other would have a transducer to fit into my existing housing, perhaps with minor modifications.

I also need a speed log and the same problems exist, although here I appreciate that I shall need to fasten thro' the hull with a new hole & fitting.

Should I go for a dual display or separate units. Ive heard the NASA range is very good.

Thanks,

Re: Fitting Transducer thro\' steel hull

I got a NASA Clipper Duet e/s & log last year. The e/s is suspended in a plastic tube glued to the inside if the hull, but sure it could be adapted to fit your existing steel tube. The tube is then filled with oil to form a complete liquid link from transducer to sea.
The log is very easy to fit, altho a hole is required!! I am happy with the performance of these instruments, and believe they represent value for money. Contrary to some opinions on this site, I found NASA very helpful & extremely prompt on delivery.
Hope this helps.
