<br />Mine is aft of the stairs, behind my battery box, epoxied, wiring is a snap from there.

Considering that my hull is solid and in constant contact with the water, I have always assumed that the water temp is close if not dead on, and consistent. As for the wax, thing, I like the the impact resistance of my epoxy and I bet it provides a better water temp. If I were to, for some unknown reason, want to move it to another location the rarity of that event would allow purchasing a replacement to be inconsequential.

Almost all of the online lit for this says it comes with a transom-mount transducer. Did yours come with a puck-style? I need a puck-style right? You can't mount a transom-ducer on your hull can you?

Peter,

My Humminbird Piranha came with a transom mounted transducer and I mounted it using the toilet bowl wax method and it works perfectly including temperature which really surprised me (it might be a degree or two off but it's not much).

The only difference between the transducer is one has ears on it attaching the the transom and the other is just around puck that will fit down into a tube of oil, epoxy, or whatever you use to mount it.

My transducer came with a transom mount, but it works very well in the glob of wax mount.
