On our GulfStar 44...the depthfinder puck is mounted through the hull roughly halfway or a little more back toward the stern from the bow. What I don't like about this situation is the fact that there has been several occasions when it has told me the water got shallow after I was already there.
What I want to do is mount a depthfinder forward in the boat..probably 6 or 8 feet back from the bow....and the most logical place to do this is on one of the chines as it would not necessitate a fairing block or any voodoo because the forward part of the hull is rather steep..
The question is: Since this is a slow boat...cruising at 7 knots or so, would there be too much turbulence under the chine that the depthfinder wouln't work?
Thanks!
