[DG] [DG] Transducer for CP 470

Thank you , Derek. Several other folks agree with your assessment that the pocket mount may be too much work. I have engaged with Gemeco and some local fiberglass experts. I think my next step is to grind out the fiberglass on the inside of the tank (the install consists of fiberglassing both the inside and outside of the tank), properly cleaning and degreasing the tank and the inside of the hull, and sealing/bonding the inside edges with 3M 5200, leaving the fiberglass mounting on the outside of the tank. If that doesn't work, I may purchase a new tank and start over bonding and sealing with 3M 5200 or West SixTen.

Another alternative suggested to me is to use a pair of B175s (one L and one H) through hulls...but looking at the specs, I believe that I would be disappointed with the performance when compared to the M265. I really need to read the bottom well at depths up to 1200 to 1500 feet. Anyone have any additional thoughts?
