265 Express Transducer Install help

[herbzanspicez]

I want to install an Airmar B175HW transducer to the right side of my seacock on my 265 express, but I'm not 100% sure if I should be buying the 12 degree tilt or 20 degree tilt because it's fairly close to the rounded keel. Has anyone done the install, which model did you go with? I'm thinking it's probably closer to 20 degrees.

The hull is 20 to 22 degrees at transom depending on year. Use a 20 deg.

You don't have room for a B175 next to a seacock.

You should cut out one of the oil tank shelves and put it in there
I put a R199 shoot thru tub in there

I did a thru hull on my 265 with a 20 deg. Works great. However, I actually removed one of my seacoks in the process to keep it in a flat spot under the keel. Can maybe sacrifice one port and double on the other. For me I didnt need the AC so I used that location. Maybe combine the Live well and saltwater port.
