[Amel Yacht Owners] Forward Sonar

Alan, The threaded stem is pretty long on transducers , I don't think you will have a problem . I would guess the hull is probably 11/4" thick , just guessing . I had a B&G sonar transducer installed last year and there is plenty of threaded stem inside . It went in the hole where the Interphase twinscope transducer was located.

[amelyachtowners] To: amelyachtowners Sent: Fri, Feb 9, 2018 8:39 pm Subject: [Amel Yacht Owners] Forward Sonar We have an Interphase Probe forward looking sonar on Elyse that has given up. We replaced the transducer a few years ago and it worked sort of, for a while, but now it doesn't at all...except when the boat isn't moving, then it works sometimes.
I'm going to replace it with a Navico forward scan transducer and a B&G Vulcan FS display.
The probe transducer is on the centre line forward of the depth sounder.
I know that the Navico transducer housing is a larger diameter than the probe threaded stem, but what concerns me a bit is the thickness of the hull there.
Does anyone know how thick the hull is at that point on a Super Maramu ?
Cheers

Thanks Pat,
That's reassuring. The Navico (B&G, Simrad etc) housing recommends max 1 7/8" hull thickness.I'm guessing that your B&G transducer housing is the same as mine. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437
