InHull Transducer for Garmin Striker 4?

Hello Everyone!

I have a garmin echo 150, and i'm thinking of changing to the striker 4, due to the discontinued model of garmin 300c.

However, it only comes with a transom mount, and i've no interest in drilling a hole in the hull. (I've been using in hull transducers, and its spoilt now, doesn't give a reading)

So is it possible to use the transom mount as an inhull mount? The boat is a Chaparral sunesta 224.

Thanks!

    Here is an option that may work for you - I almost went this route but the in-hull Hawkeye transducer worked just fine. Still will need to route the wire though.

    I've used those to beam through a fibreglass hull, stuck on the inside of the hull with grease. Works fine. Might be 20% down on the performance of a through-hull, but still better than an older model.

    your boat might have a paddle wheel on the bottom If it does.. you can replace the paddle wheel with an upgraded one that also has a transducer in it..

    Then you would not have to drill.
