I recently purchased a new to me Ranger 178 V. I am in the process of selecting electronics for the console.
I was told by the electronics salesman in a store that I usually trust that they often mount the transducers to the transom of a Ranger. I had thought it was usually a thru the hull type.
He also told me that thru the hull transducers to not work well for down imaging.
Has anyone seen transducers mounted on the outside of the transom other than on a jackplate?
Is this an acceptable way to go or should it be thru the hull ?
I would really appreciate any help. If I don't have to have a thru the hull transducer I have more options to purchase.
Thanks.
