I am installing a HawkEye depth sounder I’m my Cat. 25 swing keel.
I want to shoot through the hull and use wax to secure it. What’s the best location for the transponder??

Just behind the keel cable flat area easy access but hard to knock .
Used epoxy glue 8 years ago.

I had an Eagle Cuda 300 fishfinder (couldn't get a Hawkeye to work) and placed the transducer in wax just aft of the swing keel trunk under the companionway. not enough cable or desire to run it to the V-berth. It worked fine for us. I had the display set up on a removable mount on the inside left, sorry, port side of the companionway, and it worked quite well for us. That transducer shot a pretty wide V path under the boat, so we always had plenty of time in skinny water. also fun to see the fish traffic below us.

Mine is on the flat just in front of the swing keel. More toward port.
