Jim Day? Jim, didn't you weld a custom bait tank for a FnD?

Though I wouldn't recommend a custom thru hull xducer to most, I believe Jim is one of the few that can pull it off. That is a unique design and should be fine. I believe the off the shlef products work well also, but leave too much material below the hull.

The one point of concern is the bond between the poly and the 5200. Jim has practically eliminated that with the big screwws and added for some movement with the padding.

I've never liked shoot-thru setups and have been running thru the scrupper with the Extreme and Trident.

Good on you Jim.
