Learn how to install a through hull transducer in your boat for your fish finder. This video covers EVERYTHING from start to finish on how to install a new thru hull transducer properly and save thousands of dollars by doing it yourself. I show you how to remove the old transducer and fairing, how to drill a new hole in your hull, adding backing plates, sealing with 5200, and finally we go out and explore a ship wreck to test the transducer out. In this case we are using a Raymarine rv220 transducer and we need two so we can get side scan, 3D imaging, chirp, and RealVision but this process works for other brands like Airmar, Garmin, Furuno, Simrad, and more! This is @chrisfixstyle but for boats so you know you're learning all the best methods and wont sink your boat!
