Default Depth gauge transducer!

Hello everybody, I own a 280 silencer with a stepped hull. The transducer is glued into the hull in the bildge. The gauge only reads when I am not planed off! Really sucks! I think it is because of the air under the boat because of the step. I was wondering if anybody tried a transom mount transducer, and if that seemed to work better??

Well... Get 'em done and get out there
I plan to get 9 holes in with a (boating) friend and then we'll probably be out for the afternoon. if its windy, we'll be just inside the channel at Mac Bay by The Piper. I'll keep my phone on and radio at 72.
Miss you guys!!!
