Make a dam with plaster or spackel large enough for the transducer to sit in a liquid any place its easy to get to in your hull. Many places will sell you the unit with return privileges. Place the transducer in the pool of water in the dam and see if you get a reading. Make sure there are no bubbles on the transducer. If it works make a dam where you want to mount the tx'r and fill with epoxy and wet the tx'r with epoxy so no bubbles, set in the position to make vertical, it will start working before it hardens. Make sure there are no bubbles in the epoxy and you've done your installation. If it doesn't work take it back for a refund before you put it in the epoxy. I've heard it said you can put the t'xr in a baggie of water and try it but I've never done it. Please let me know the outcome. .
