I've tested it out past the LJ canyon and get a solid bottom echo at 1000' which is where my sounder maxes out. You can give putty a try and if it doesn't work for you, it's easy to remove it, a lot easier than trying to scrape up cured goop.

I've never tried an outside mount so I can't offer an opinion on that mounting method. ~~~Pete~~~

I tried the outside method a long time ago. Picking up loose kelp stringers became a pain. For me anyway.

Take a look through the Sticky - Sharing your Innovations. There's a lot of history of folks experimenting and proving sound and secure mounting of transducer inside their yak.
