I'm considering installing a Raymarine i50 depth finder as a stand alone backup. Available transducers include the bronze B17 thru hull and a plastic in hull P79. Not sure which one will be the best and most reliable. Does anyone have good or bad experiences with either of these? Any downside to using a in hull type transducer? This will go on a Mainship 34' Pilot. Would rather not drill another hole in the hull if it can be avoided.
Am also considering the Raymarine i40 with a plastic thru hull P7 transducer. Is that a bad idea to have a plastic thru hull vs bronze? Does anyone have recommendations with the i40 vs the i50? Thanks for your time!!
