    2010 Z7 and thru Hull transducer Will GT8 work?

    I think this is a yes but checking around if anyone has done this. Has anyone put a gt8 transducer in the bilge area (remove the factory transducer) and used that for at speed?

    I'm all Garmin now on my Z7 but my GT56 is on my jackplate. I've noticed increased performance having it up (boat performance) but of course no depth or 2d at speed. As I'm fully networked, thinking I'll add a GT8 thru Hull, run it up to a front graph and then just select that sensor for map mode only or 2d/map graph settings on my console graph.

    Is the hull back there 0-5 deadrise? I think Yes.
    Anyone do this?

    Update: Installing today and will advise for future research. Found a spot next to the factory transducer that should work.

    Update: Works okay but I loose bottom contact around 38mph due to the placement. Guess it's a good "am I up on pad" indicator but not the intended effect. I should have moved it even further back versus the factory spot.
