They’re glued to the inside of the hull with silicone or epoxy. An in-hull transducer is a good choice for a trailered boat, a vessel with a stepped hull, and for other types of high performance hull designs, as there is no drag, hull penetration or potential for fouling. No integrated temperature sensor. Can be installed while boat is in the water. For deadrise angles up to 30 degrees. As with thru-hulls, the selected location should be aft and close to the centerline so that the transducer is in the water at all times.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="border:0px currentColor;color:rgb(34,34,34);line-height:1.5em;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;vertical-align:baseline">In-hull transducers need solid fiberglass at the mounting location; no foam or plywood coring material, or air pockets.
