Bill, 
 
Perhaps I failed to mention.... I was informed that to test the transducer  
inside the hull it must be in direct contact with the hull.... that is without  
air or air bubbles between it and the inner fiberglass.  To achieve that it  
either requires an adequate layer of water in the bilge or placing a soft clay 
 ring or silicone on inner hull, then press a pvc or similar tubular 
container  adequate in size to fit a transducer and fill with water. This should 
permit an  accurate test. If that area of the hull appears fine, no need to retest 
in  another area, remove all testing stuff, dry hull , light sand and make 
another  shallow clay well, pour in bubble free activated epoxy carefully 
inserting not  to trap bubbles the transducer). It should produce the same results as 
your  water test. It would then serve you with no resistance, danger of 
damage,  barnacle build up, scraping, leaking, and other associated problems.  I  
found that those who place it on the outboard areas of the transom, often incur 
 problems with heeling /out of water, air bubbles due to outboard motor.....
