For many years I have had my transducer mounted on the transome. Now, having changed boats, I have tried the transducer mounted on the inside of the hull. What a difference ! The display is now much more useful at speed and there 'appear' to be more fish about !
Do be aware, however, that hull mounted transducers do not work so well when the hull is constructed of composite materials.

Interesting, was it a big job to have it built into the hull Peter?

Transducer to hull i/s
For instructions see http://www.lowrance.com/Manuals/Files/x ... 112003.pdf
Pages 17 to 20 of manual.
Do be aware that your hull must be solid, not composite, and without voids at the transducer's location.
So given these conditions, it is a reasonably straightforward task.
