aussie big bob Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) Ok Raiders As Santa said I had to wait till next Xmas for my tinny upgrade I need to fit a furuno 1kw transducer to my old tinny. So my question is. Does anyone here on fish raiders have a 1kw furuno transducer fitted to a bar crusher as I would like to fit a through hull transducer but not sure as it is double skin. Any help with this would be appreciated. Cheers Bob Edited January 5, 2009 by aussie big bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalmainBob Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Gday Bob, Have a look at the barcrusher website. In the brochure that can be downloaded there has a cross section through the boat that shows the construction detail under the floor. It dosnt appear posible to hull mount the transducer without cutting into the floor of the boat. I also dont know what stuctural problems doing this may cause or problems with the warranty for the boat. I looked into doing this when I first bought my 530c but decided against it and just mounted it on the transon mounting plate . hope this helps.

dato Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 As I understand it the shoot through transducer cannot be used in an alloy boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big-Banana Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Shoot throughs and in built transducers can only be used on a fibreglass boat mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtosea Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You wont have any probs with it mounted at the back of your boat on a drop down holder type thing. A few mates have it and they work a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoont Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I have a 1kw transom mount transducer for my Koden. It's mounted on a commercially available bracket so it can be removed and stowed away from light fingers. Last weekend I fished the same ground on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday I was in the dealer's boat with the same sounder but a through hull, on Sunday I was in mine and I could not notice any difference. You won't have a problem mate. Let me know if you would like the details of the bracket and I will track them down. BTW.. I get a clear bottom reading in 500 fathoms at 32 knots!!
