Glad you did, looks great !
When sweat and tears pay off! Now you work on your toys in the dry, does it get any better?
Harbour Chandler (see Mike) has thru hulls for your application- Just bought on (haven't tried it yet) going to mount it in my pod.
I'm looking at replacing the OEM transducer with something a bit better. I have been looking into an Airmar P66 or similar. Anyone have experience with these units? How do you like them? I have seen some through hull type transducers mounted to brackets off the transom before. Could look into that as well.
will post a picture when done- have to tack in a flat piece on the pod cause it is V'd to match the hull. Mike at HC ordered 2 when I got mine so he still has one under the counter- around 200 bucks Ithink,but I always hated the transducer in the open on the stern--just waiting for that inopportune time to pi** me off. LOLWhich brand / model did you go with MRACER? It would be cool to see how you mounted in your pod when you get it finished.

That sure looks like the right one- packaging is correct, but I don't have the numbers handy- Is that from HC? Denise knows the one also.
I have always had issues with any transducer hanging off the transom. Although it took me two days to get up enough nerve to put a hole in the bottom of my boat, I am very happy with the results.
Should work as long as there is no turbulence. Looks like you could build it up to the same level and smooth it out just fine.
That's the poser!!TURBULANCE!! HOW TO GET IT IN SMOOTH WATER AFTER MAKING A FLAT SPOT ON THE POD???? Gonna be more work than I thought- wish I had sculpin's talent and shop (in that order!)lol
Hey Sculpin, I mounted my structure scan transducer right in the center of my pod.I cut a piece of 1/4" alum the same width but just a little longer then the transducer,welded a arrow head shaped gaurd in the front of it to deflect any debris,drilled and tapped out the holes to mount the transducer to it and then tacked it to the bottom of my pod.Worked awesome,never lost bottom even at W.O.T. It's on Bryce's son's boat now,maybe he can post a pic of it
