Thread: well i'm a owner now

Rickie is 100% here.
The inside-the-hull version (XIH-9-DI-T) of the DI transducer (XNT-9-DI-T) is the same exact transducer but it comes with an epoxy kit instead of the transom mount hardware.

I don’t know that we sell just the epoxy kit itself as I cannot find it on the web site. I would test the location as Rickie stated by using a plastic storage bag with sand, pea gravel or something that will hold the transducer in place. Fill the hull with enough water to cover the body of the transducer. First though you will need to prep and clean the hull. Sand/grind down any old epoxy that may be there and also any covering paint. Wash the inside of the hull out with a degreaser type detergent to get rid of any oils or grease that may have found their way in there (what you use to wash dishes with will work fine). You want the transducer resting on the fiberglass when you test it and ultimately epoxy it in place.

Will there be any signal loss? Sure, you are sending and receiving an acoustic signal through different mediums (fiberglass and water), but if the installation is done correctly it will be hard for most to see any difference between a transducer installed inside-the-hull and one mounted on a transom.

I have a 16' stratos bass boat and the bilage area is pretty small and theres a hose right over the ducer ,
I guess the piddly will have to do for now
