The boat didn't come with a depth/fish finder. I always like to know my depths so I picked this Garmin up off craigslist for $50.
The transom had some previous transducers and their associated holes. I need to spend some time cleaning them up and sealing them properly. I will probably install something a little more sophisticated than the Garmin 140 next year. I didn't want to Swiss cheese my transom any further so I put the transducer in the bilge with a bees wax toilet ring to shoot thru the hull. Depth works ok but the fishfinder isn't completely happy with it. So I know how deep it is but I probably won't see any fish on it the screen.
