As usual excellent job! I have my old fishfinder on my compac. Mounted transducer with the bracket on stern exterior below waterline but is protected by stern. Quite happy with it and cheap.
Nice job on the repair! Strange that someone would put a forward looking sonar on a boat that small -- it's not like you have a deep keel to worry about. The last owner must have lived near some very shallow waters to be that worried.
Question about having a transducer shoot directly through a fiberglass hull without a thru-hull. What are the pro's and con's of shooting thru the hull and what would be the limit on the hull thickness it would shoot through? Thanks
Glueing a transducer inside the hull can work very good The hull has to be solid fiberglass with no core Also no trapped air bubbles which you can’t see, but this is not usually a problem The obvious pro is no hole in the boat The con is sometimes needing to try a few spots to find one that works good I usually use a temporary bond until I know it will work good Thanks for watching

The previous owner had some strange ideas
Most of the work on this boat has been reversing them
Thanks for watching
Great job. Overhead work is the worst!
It sure is
I still have to remove a half dozen layers of bottom paint

Is there anything that you can’t fix?
Lol
Not much I haven’t fixed at one time or another
