+1 on the "in-hull" transducer. It works like a charm. No speed, though.

The further you get from centerline and keel, the more distorted your readings are likely to be.

As Bill noted, mine is to starboard. Contrary to what Bill said, mine is located just forward of the solid glass. When I replaced my speed and depth transducers several years ago, I used the same location. Water from the balsa core literally ran down my arm when I removed the old transducers and pushed on the soaking wet balsa core. We dried out the entire area and created solid epoxy “plugs” larger than the old holes for redrilling the new transducer holes. This was not a difficult job, but then again I have a “stick boat.” A 1982 C&C 25 didn’t come with speed and depth transducers?

I only had time to go to the boat this past weekend. Bill, the boat is a C&C 25 Here is an "annotated" drawing from Sailboat data that I will use for my questions: https://imgur.com/a/3Ar35Pb<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimgur.com%2Fa%2F3Ar35Pb&data=05%7C01%7C%7C394072c9ff8d4836bd7308db240abf15%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638143400817543407%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=MYuNEcWC8N0P0cjeoX%2BtSp801rjHgZeUfzD0ErUocKc%3D&reserved=0> To me, there are three options (some easier than others) to cut the hull (2 inches round) and add the transducer: Red marker: At the moment, the original (I think?) depth sounder is located in the red marker *inside* the hull. Yellow marker: There is a small access port to the fibreglass on the yellow marker that *could* fit the depth/speed transducer. It feels very high on the hull and a bit fragile as the fitting would stick out of the access port and be a bit exposed (second picture of the link) Green marker: Last option, cut a square access *hatch* on the plastic liner wall (orange mark) that separates the "inside" of the boat from the fiberglass hull and then cut a hole on the green mark. Any mindhive thoughts? I am very nervous about making a hole in the wrong place :) Thanks!

There should be a section adjacent to the centerline where it is solid Glass before it goes up onto the balsa.

New electronics since 1982 on Spice. Im having a bit of a hard time finding where to place the transducer (airmar depth, speed, temp). Manual says ahead of the keel but access on the 25 Mk II seems limited. Anyone around here has any tips?
