Re: Transducer for Sharkcat
You may have some issues getting clean water at speed with that set up.
Re: Transducer for Sharkcat
I figured that'd be he case. I've never see it done . Anyone have success with it?

Re: Transducer for Sharkcat
the pods are aluminium? just cut out an area big enough for the transducer profile out of the pod at the transom and have a small rectangle (or whatever shape really) of ally welded in so that you can mount the txdcr at the transom. if you'r worried about turbulance dont leave the surrounding area too big. can always fill and seal around with silicone.

Bad as a general rule. Depending on what type of transducer you are running I have seen pics of pods modified to house transducers or with specific brackets made to suit the limited space - effectively creating a transom mount behind the hull. The other option that has become more prevalent is having pods glassed into the hull to house wet faced through hulls - lot of work and cost unless you are good at glassing though.
What sounder / transducer are you running or thinking of running?
Re: Transducer for Sharkcat
Plenty of people do mount through hulls externally so it is an option. Could also look at modifying the p66 and having a bracket fabricated. If you undo the screws at the rear of it the bracket will come off and leave you with the basic transducer body - might be some way to cut off the pivots and fab a housing - don't have one in front of me to play with.
