    I have mounted two Humminbird transducers on the interior of the hull by
    simply embedding them in a blob of silicone sealant. The instructions that came
    with them suggested using epoxy resin but I tried the silicone first as a test.
    It worked so well that I've never upgraded the mounting to epoxy.

    Several things to think about:

    1. If you use silicone, you can remove the transducer by simply pulling it
    off the hull. If you use epoxy, you have to break up the transducer.

    2. The transducer should be mounted in a protected place so you don't
    accidentally kick it. But if you do, you can always use another glob of silicone and
    remount it.

    3. Despite warnings to the contrary, you can use two depthfinders at the same
    time and get accurate readings on both. At least I can using a Humminbird SX
    100 and a Humminbird Pirhana. It was easier and cheaper to simply buy two
    depthfinders than to use a more expensive single unit and a remote indicator.
