Like mine, I would never do that again!! Something not right about drilling a 2" hole in the bottom of a perfect boat

my montecarlo has a 3/4" and 3 2" ducer holes in the bottom along with a few seacocks as well...... I plugged 3 of the ducer holes with bronze thru hulls and pipe caps and used the 4th for a ducer



On SEVERAL other boats I have glued a normal transom mount ducer inside the hull with epoxy. It is IMPORTANT to mix the epoxy slowly to avoid bubbles and If you do this on the sloped portion of the hull you also need to build a small dam out of modeling clay to pool the epoxy enough to level the ducer and to hold the ducer level till the epoxy sets up.

when done this way, the temp reading will be within a couple degrees of actual.

My bad I ment to mean a shoot-through type. I don't like the holes in the side of the boat putting one on the bottom would SUCK! I knew someone would have tried it here thanks for the info it will come in more than usefull.


My dad just bought a North West 218 Lightning it comes with the fanciest seats in it. I told him they put them in there becouse it is a rough ride should have got a Wellcraft if you want comfort in a boat!!
