I think the best location for the depth sounder is in the interior forward part of the boat
set in a PVC pipe sealed in water, I've heard Mineral oil works well too,
thus...no problems with through hull fittings.
Check the MSOG site for installation instructions.


The only knot meters I'm familiar with require a through hull fitting to accommodate the
paddle wheel.
It may be possible to have a external mounted knot meter on the transom, if so I think
this would be preferred to a through hull fitting.

Subject: M_Boats: A little advice & info please?



I just acquired an 87 M15 and I'm hoping to launch it next month.

I'm putting in a simple electrical system with a solar panel to keep the
battery charged and would like to mount the panel off the stern. There's no
stern pulpit and I certainly can't afford to have one made. Has anyone
managed to build one with off the shelf parts that looks decent?


I want to install a knotmeter & depth sounder. Can anyone advise me as to
the optimum locations for the transducers?

Thanks,
Norm Lane
