Hello Gents,
I bought a 1990 230 Gulfstream in the fall and picked up a Garmin GPS/sounder combo to match what the previous owner removed but left the transducer behind...it worked OK, but is on the small side and with the boat shows coming up, I am thinking about picking up something different...the Garmin unit has a transom mount transducer that worked pretty poor when underway..I tried to scrap all the barnacles off it it when I got it, but had only moderate success. Is anyone running a thruhull transducer or a "shoot-thru" in their boats? I think I have room to put one in near the transome and maybe where the old oil tanks were if I can get the platform-thing out of the bilge....
