Re: home made wet box
I used a piece of PVC pipe with a screw on cap with the transducer screwed into it. I glued the pipe to the inner hull and then filled the pipe with peanut oil. Or some oil which doesn't generate bubbles.Comment

Re: home made wet box
Made one on the old boat, which i had for ten years and would read clearly at 40 knts.But i put gliserene instead of oil in it.

Fishing is not simply my escape,it is where I am supposed to be,it is not a place that I go, But a life long journey I am taking, it is a passage that was shown to me and that I will continue to show to others. When you understand all of this, you will then know me and we will fish together.Comment

Re: home made wet box
I did much the same as swampdoggy on a previous vessel although parafin was the supposed to be the good oil then but I found that parafin didn't like most silicone sealers and eventually leaked and I thought that gliserene has similar properties, a mate of mine had all sorts of similar problems. These days I thought that non toxic coolant fluid was the go, the green one from memory. At the moment noth my transducers our mounted outside on the hull but I am looking to building a wet box, it would be glassed into the hull.One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce and canonized those who complain.
