Thank You for the info, the P79 transducer came with the plastic housing, 22.5 degree angle. I was told by Raymarine that it will work with the 24 degree hull. Winter project!!! Again, Thanks for the info
Robbie and Speedracer,
Sorry I didn,t take any pics. But I installed it in the same place PQ had the factory one installed. It was about 6" in front of the first step. I played around with a cardboard template to get the inside hull angle correct which was 28 deg. On the P-79 I had to cut the bottom angle of the PVC Tube 10 deg. less so the top was level. If you use 4"od x 3" id
the transducer will fit the id perfect. I put a small bevel on the id of the PVC and used the supplied o-ring to make it seal, then screwed the transducer right to the PVC. after the 5200 cured I filled the id with RV antifreeze and screwed the transducer down compressing the o-ring for the seal. It made a great intsall
