I fitted a depth sounder to a 1996 Sportster that I had. The transducer would be glued to the engine floor (thru hull). For the power, I would rather use direct battery connection with an in line fuse...has anyone fitted one - just a depth sounder not the fish finder and full sonar - just interested to know if i could fit the sounder at the back of the ski locker???

Yes. Installed one in Sportster 4tec.has anyone fitted one - just a depth sounder not the fish finder and full sonar - just interested to know if i could fit the sounder at the back of the ski locker???

Placed transducer in low spot which always holds water, just forward of the engine. This, after trying to find the thinnest part of the hull to adhere it to without success.
Transducer must always sit in water. Also needed to get a higher quality unit as cheaper one was unreliable.
See my posting on this of last year ( if it still exists ).
Needed to move radio forward to provide clearance for the display unit, then fabricated a small box for sunglasses etc. in former radio space.
Get 12 volts from cigarett lighter outlet or radio.

What I meant was that it must sit IN the ( bilge ) water in a depression in the hull.thanx for tips - whn you say it has to sit in water you mean below the waterline as opposed to water in the bilge??????
That way the signals transmit thru the water, the hull, then to the bottom and back.
Cannot transmit thru air nor thru some adhesives.
