Gman had one when he first set up his FF he said it the FF worked great because the xducer was direct in the water, but it wasn't worth the hassle of
kelp and grass getting caught and having off the side was cumbersome, I would look into a wet mount before I did that...imo

I'm curious too. I've got to mount my elite 4 soon

In water vs wet mount? Is the difference significant ?
Wet mount is convenient and easy, but I heard that you lose performance

Check the "innovations" a bunch of different techniques and materials to do a wet mount, yes a through hull direct in the water is best, however much research has been documented the wet mount works well for this application
I have a wet mount for my HDS5 works awesome, no loss of performance,
clean install and reliable...
