OK guys, I might have found where the factory installed the transducer in my hull. Mine is currently mounted on the transom because the marina I bought the boat from couldn't get it to read through the hull. The spot I found is pretty much right under the starter. I'll post up a pic of it. Should I try to grind it out some, or just glue it in and see if it works?
This is on a 280, and it is a Hawk Eye depth sounder.
Thanks,
Frank

That's what I'm wondering. Does that spot look like it was done before? I think I'll have to try to grind out in that circle and see what's going on.
Does anyone with a 280 built around 98 have a factory mounted transducer that can verify the location?
Thanks

Mine is a 98. Factory had me install it just about center-line and almost to the front of the engine. Give them a call and someone will walk you through it. Boat is in storage or Iwould e mail you a couple of pics. I can't check yours as I am not a paid member.

hmmm, I'm not sure I should devulge the top secret engine build.
I am adding A/C though. That should offset any gains made by the extra hp from the AFR's, cam, intake, ect.

Don't worry vicious you will be ok if I am part of the pack. I should be well behind you guys.
Frank, I would have made a good excuse for pulling the motor!! Good luck with the motor build.
