In Hull Garmin Transducer

JohnnyD

I have a 2005 Rinker Fiesta 250 Vee.  I purchased an in-hull transducer for a new Garmin Fishfinder and Chartplotter.  I’m not getting depth readings and haven’t seen any fish.  Does anyone know if this rinker is a solid fiberglass hull?

This is what the hull looks like on my 2001 242.

Is your puck filled with liquid like antifreeze

Or mineral spirits.
Also do you have the correct dead rise angle transducer for your hull? If you do, make sure you have the arrow pointing to the keel.

OK thanks I'll check into it.

I thought people have said the hull is solid fiberglass?  That picture seems to prove that false?

Here's the transducer.  Directions didn't mention add liquid.  Just gluing to hull inside the ring.  Model:  Garmin 010-12401-10 GT8HW-Ih Plastic in-Hull Mount Transducer with 12 Degree Tilt

I believe the top part screws off and that is where the fluid goes. Your link to the directions isn’t working.

This should be the same type of transducer. Read number 9 under installation.
