We are installing a new depth sounder on the Crocker Cutter. It
appears we have several choices when it comes to transducer shape.
There is a flush unit, one that sticks out a little (for lack of a
better term) and one that is on a 4" stem. Also the option was given
for a transducer that attached to a rib on the interior of the hull.
Any opinions for installation on a wooden hull?
We would also like to place the transducer in the best position, trying
to keep it in the water when heeling. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any information.

Avoid the interior mount, especially with cored or wood boats, unless
you want to do LOTS of machining and epoxying.
Flush and mushroom are pretty close; the latter is a pinch more
electrically efficient. These 2 are the most popular.
Try to deal with a manufacturer with a good repuation and hopefully has
a `parts guy' stationed close to you in case the thing croaks.
They've gotten better lately, in terms of MTBF, that's the good news.
Let us know how it goes!

Well the choice has been made. A Datamarine Corinthian 400
Depthsounder with a bronze low profile transducer.
Thanks for the help,
