You can clearly pay anything for a depth sounder.
There's a Humminbird one that seems to do everything I want for US$77 - or slightly more glamorous ones from Raymarine or Northstar for four times the price. Are they worth it?
And the in-hull arrangement where I epoxy the transducer to my grp hull is appealing (one less hole on the hull) but do they work well? Do the through hull ones work better?
I have a 30 year old GRP keelboat and I intend installing the transducer just ahead of the keel in the V berth.
Advice from the panel is always appreciated.
