It's a Raymarine Element 9HV chartplotter combo with free HV-100 transom-mount transducer and USA lakes, coastal Navionics package.
I called Raymarine technical support to get their suggestion on a mounting medium for this transducer for an in-hull application, as transom mount is impossible on my E-35.
The tech said very very bad choice, never get an in-hull transducer as it will never provide maximum advantage of 50% of the applications of the unit purchased and 100% of the 3D this unit offers..needs at least a 200 kilohertz thru-hull transponder to take advantage of all the included applications and lucky to read a 25-30 foot depth with this transducer..should have the Axiom 9RV package with through hull transducer, which is $400 more expensive.....
The tech firmly stated that the transom mount HV-100 will not work in an in-hull application, period and there is not a 200 Kilohertz transducer for the 9HV.
They also said explicitly...never, ever mount an in-hull with silicon..ever! If anything use 2-part epoxy, mineral oil or antifreeze, but still will not allow 50% advantages of this unit.
Look like I fouled up on this one...going to return it.
