Can I mount this transducer to the hull glued in place from the inside? " In hull " mounted.. no holes no drilling just glued in place?

I don't believe the HawkEye transducers with water temp sensors can be mounted in-hull, but the transducer that comes with the D10D can. Contact HawkEye's customer support to make sure you get the right product and transducer. If you still want the air temperature, ask them if you can use the transom/in-hull transducer with the D10DX models.

The transducer is an in-hull transducer. I made a pond from electricians putty and filled it with water -works great. I first glued it to inside hull but had to move it so went with forming pond.

Mounting of this unit is done by securing the bracket (comes with the radio) either over or under the radio. The radio then secures to the bracket (each side of the radio). If you wanted to mount this radio in a flush mounted panel, you'd have to fabricate some type of mechanism to attach the radio to. Having said all of that, we're very pleased with the performance of the unit. It has good range with the squelch turned down to eliminate the static interference and with the mounting hardware keeps the radio secure on our 34' Tartan Sailboat.

A $20 mounting kit available from Minn Kota will allow you to mount transducer to the motor if that's what you want. http://www.minnkotamotors.com/Products/MKR-15-TRANSDUCER-MOUNTING-KIT/

No, it mounts directly to the inside bottom of the hull. A transom mount would be more appropriate for a live well pump mounted directly to the transom and pumping through a drilled hole in the transom to the bait well. I have one of each on my flats skiff. One thing about these rule pumps. If you run them when the bilge is dry, they will overheat and fail.

No , the transducer comes with the unit , it does have a suction cup on transducer so he can put it anywhere on the boat , i think he will like it .

What I did was just mount directly to the speaker placing the bracket over the keyhole mount. The added movement capabilities were worth it. Being able to aim the speakers where I want them is great. If you just want fixed placement,just use the keyhole. Hope this helps

You keep it in the water so it is just 1mm below the bottom of the boat hull. You can also use an adhesive and go through hull with the transducer in the middle of your boat bottom. Very versatile

I assume you are mounting it inside the hull. You want it close to the center line and somewhere along the length that is free from turbulence (i.e. where the hull is always submerged with no cavitation moving air under the hull). You can temporarily mount the transducer with petroleum jelly to check out your preferred location. The pj is gooey enough to hold it in place for awhile. Make sure you use plenty of pj and press down to remove any air pockets that may be between the hull and the transducer. I was able to run my powerboat up to speed with sweeping turns for approximately 20 minutes to verify I had a good location and good readings, free from turbulence and metal hull stringers in the fiberglass, before the transducer became dislodged from the pj.

This is not a kit. There is no soldering. It should be mounted in some kind of container though.

I installed mine on a Bourgeois myself. The end pin hole must be enlarged, so just put some painter's tape over it before you drill. The rest of the installation is glue pad and velcro. You may have to play with the acoustic mic by moving it around until you find the best spot.

No, the entire piece is welded together as one unit for strength, and individual components such as the mounting plates cannot be moved. In any case, rotating the plates to reposition the holes horizontally would make the rail difficult or impossible to mount, because the cross-bar would then block access (for a drill) to the "inner" holes.

This is crazy, in order for sonar transducers to work, they MUST be in the water. Page 18, "the transducer must be submerged in water for reliable detection". Page 32, "It is important that the mounting position allows the transducer to rest beneath the surface of the water, pointing straight down". There is another comment in the manual which states the transducer (sonar) does not work in 'air'.. I tried it, they are right.

Yes. However, check the pivot bolt/nut before you install it on your boat. I received a defective nylock type nut that seized on the bolt. I did not cross thread it....it simply seized on the bolt and could not be removed no matter how much I cranked on it with a wrench. I had to hack saw the mount off my boat. In summary: test the bolt/nut first to ensure it doesn't seize before you mount the transducer.

Hi Unfotunately you do have to drill holes ,unless you make a small bracket to fit on the transom of each boat then fitted the transducer to the bracket. Dave.

The mounting bracket allows for adjusting the angle of the transducer in the water and for tilting the transducer out of the water. Also, the entire transducer assembly can be lifted out of the bracket leaving only the bracket attached to the boat.Ken Goff

There is just one transducer to do it all. I purchased the trolling motor transducer mount, and it worked awesome.
