Transducer
Hello All:

Just returned from a trip to BC. One of the goals was to install my plotter sounder/fish finder. I tried several locations on the hull for the transducer but the depth was always 2.5' Funny thing b/c I would have been high and dry if that were the case. When I let it down into the water there was a full 20' of depth. The instructions said that I could set the transducer in Epoxy and it would work fine.

Anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong? I'm pretty sure my hull is not cored but I am contacting the builder to find out. Booat is a Sceptre 41
