Does any one on here have a lowrance finder with the transducer mounted thru the hull on an aluminum boat ? If so do you experience signal problems. Learned that Humming birds finder will not shoot a sonar signal thru the hull reliably.

Why don't you put it on the transom? It's not that big of a deal.
I don't know much about it but there is this...

It claims to shoot thru aluminum up to .12" thick with no signal loss...

Not being a smart a$$, but a serious question.... If he mounts in the hull, wouldn't he know where his sonar funnel would be a little better?Quote:

thanks for the education crappiemax,
This would he determined by where the user actually wants the sonar information coming...Quote:

Fishing from the front with the TM might , as you indicate, need the xducer on the TM....
He didn't really indicate in his OP....
