Can Side and Down Imaging Transducers be Installed Inside the Hull?

Installing a Side Imaging or Down Imaging transducer in the hull

Transducer placement plays an important role in getting the best sonar performance. Review the information below before considering an inside-the-hull installation for Side Imaging or Down Imaging. 
  • Side Imaging transducers: Beams shoot out to the side of the transducer therefore they cannot be epoxied into the hull and work properly.
  • Down Imaging:  Shooting through the hull of a fiberglass boat causes the signal to be lost.
