I read this post with interest. As a cheap and easy depth gauge, I purchased a low end Garmin fish finder (model 160 I think) that came with a plastic transom mount transducer. I tried to make it work "thru the hull" of my 1983 Grand Banks (42). I tried the trick suggested to use the wax of a toilet ring as a temporary mount to the inside of the hull. It did not work at all..... I am going to spend the money (approximately $120-$150) and buy a bronze thru hull transducer. Add many more hundred to haul the boat and drill another hole in the bottom to mount it.... I will try the bronze transducer from inside before hauling the boat. Does anyone think the bronze thru hull will work from inside where the plastic transom mount transducer did not?
