That"s the same set up that I have been using for Two Yrs .However there are some problems Number one is when you start heeling
some times the depth reading just blinks at what the depth was when it lost the bottom .Also the zebra mussels have found the bracket and they love to start doing what they do which is plug everything up.I have a Garmin 498 and would be lost with out it

I have a wonderfull fishfinder/depthfinder from Garmin that I had Stan mount
before I took delivery of the boat this summer. The screen readout is on a
great bracket on the outside of the aft portion of the cabin on the
starboard side opposite the compass. It can easily be read from the
conning station . The transducer is connected by a wire that runs behind the
seats, through the lazarette, through the transom (above the waterline) and
down to the bottom of the tansom where the transducer is mounted. I'm not
hunting submarines or mines which might require more forward placement and
it works just fine.
