Anyone knows what is the real story with the hull construction in the bilge area (under the engine) for Sea Ray 175 Sport new models (2008/2009).
I wanted to install an in-hull transducer. I contacted Sea Ray and they told me that there is no place in the bilge that the transducer will work, due to the foam insterts and that the entire area in the bilge is reinforcement for the inserts and not the actual hull.
I placed the transducer under the engine in the trial (water in the bilge) and it was able to detect bottom. I don't know how reliable that would be and don't want to install permanently.
Anyone can confirm that there is no access to hull in the bilge area?
Thanks....
