For those of you that have an in hull transducer where is it mounted.
Mine took a crap and for the life Of me I cannot get the old one out. The main problem is there is such tight quarters I can't get very good leverage or a heat gun to heat up the old epoxy like I did on my last boat.
So my initial thought process was to just cut the old wire and stick the new transducer down right next to it.

Some folks have used a hammer to knock out the old one, and others used your idea of area near original
I know what you guys are talking about mine in my tr20 did not crap out its still in (lorance) it is right between the LW. Got to stand on your head to get to it. I bought hb i put on the port side in a 2 1/2" coulping siliconed the edges of the coupling drop the trandsucer in the coupling if you have a puck transducer and just add water it works if it goes just lift out.
I was able to get it out. I had to take out my oil jug,pp pumps, battery charger, and the shelf that it all sat on.... what a pain in the azz

I used the water filled baggie method to find the best spot after mine shot craps. I left the old one in.

"Can't" means "don't want to"
See post #2. Method used to find the best location for a bilge mounted transducer before mounting with epoxy. Will work for all brands.
