I have to wonder why you
I have to wonder why you don't just bolt a transom mount one on the back
mine reads deeper then I need to fish very clearly and is only a 1kw
wasnt certain that thru hull types like aluminium to shoot thru

Which transducer?
Which 1.5kw transducer are you referring to? I have seen the Airmar M422 which is a 1.5kw in hull but that wouldn't suit an aluminium boat.

@black glen, hey mate cheers
@black glen, hey mate cheers for the reply. I currently have it mounted on the transom. It seems to make my honda bf90 cavitate badly i have tryed it in several different places and still the same. It rooster tails like a barstard....
@z00m, i have a 1.5kw airmar but am more than willing to buy a purpose built transducer.
I also am keen on the best possible reading and im told thru hull is the best option?
Thanks i a bit of a noob with transducer mounting...

Wet faced will give the best reading
Which means drilling a big hole in your boat .through hulls wont work through ally
