Based on my experience, I would say if it's a depth transducer install it on the inside of your hull and either don't cut a new hole or plug the one you have already. Find a nice spot on the inside, close where you want it located, clean the area with solvent, let it dry and then apply a really ge

Rick, You're not missing anything.  I think I confused everyone by my comments about ducking, when you REALLY need to ease the main in order to come down, and this situation when a tight main MAY affect the steering when the boat really wants to come up.  In this situation, the tight main may b
