Hi – following on from this thread I’ve now been able to replace my transom mount transducer for a through hull one (many thanks to ‘David2452’ for pointing me in the right direction).
I’m not sure how thick the hull will be at the lowest point, but guessing around 1inch. To fit the transducer, I need to drill a 1” hole through it.
So, for obvious reasons I need to ensure I do this properly, using all the right materials etc. At this point, my uninformed guess is that I’d need to use a 1" hole saw suitable for GRP, then seal the ‘tunnel’ created with some sort of epoxy, then fit the transducer using some other type of sealant – all this a guess and I’m hoping for some advice before I wield the power tools – so any help really appreciated![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
