Guys,

I am about to order a Polycraft 4.1 and I am wondering if someone could give me a hint as to where to mount the transducer for the sounder. I have a Humminbird Matrix 37 and I am looking at mounting the transducer at the rear of the vessel. Some photos would be great, I just do not want to stuff it up, not sure how you plug up extra holes in PE

Thanks,

Fletch

This is were I have my Transducer located. Its a Navman one. I know of others that have placed it on the outer part of the hull and are having lots of trouble with it.
I have no trouble with mine, other than the speed wheel clogging up with crap

Here is a closer shot

Thanks Bubba,

Thats where the dealer recommended, I just was not sure.

I've been told to mount the transducer as far away from the engine as the hull will allow but I dont have a poly.

Engine "noise" can blank out the screen. Im not sure how far sounders have advanced but it was an issue when I got my entry level, eagle sounder, about 8 years ago.

Yeh, mine is in a similar place to bubbas, and l don't have any trouble. l think the main thing is the y axis location and making sure it is reasonably square across the x axis.

Hi Fletch,

Keep the shavings from every hole you make and you can heat them into a putty to fix any mishaps

It will even be the right colour

Thanks Whitto,

Putty it is!

Take advantage of plastic!



I mounted mine inside the Hull - in a huge blob of Silicone (bubble free)


Then I lent it to Furuno - Who tested it in the River against and outside transducer with no noticeable difference



Mine will never be damaged lots or broken and it’s a much tidier installation
