Padraig hit it right. You can never get a good reading thru a cored hull. The 4" PVC thru the core so the transducer can sit on the 'true' floor is a nice way to do it.

I have a Formula like Troutly. Although mine is a 382, I think that the installations are similar. The boat has a solid (not cored) bottom, and the transducer is mounted in the center of the hull just before the first step. (Look under the step that leads into your cabin, Troutly.) As long as this part of the hull is in the water, it reads perfectly all the way up to 80. Same basic 2" in-dash Lowrance 3500/Gaffrig that you find everywhere.

I'm trying to install a shoot thru transducer that isn't disturbed by aireation rear of the step. Was thinking of mounting it forward of the step.
