Does anyone have any experience installing a Norcross (Hawkeye) 'in-hull' (epoxy to the inside of your hull) depth sensor? I have confirmed that I have a solid 'glass hull, no coring and I am having a heck of a time finding a spot where it will read. I have tried the vaseline to the base of the sensor tip but not the baggie of water one yet. I hang it over the side and it reads fine and one spot in the hull (just outside the starboard stringer, in front of the thru-hull pick up) read for about 5 seconds then all I get is " - - - " on the display. There is a spot directly on the keel in front of the motor that is perfectly smooth (just in front of the bilge pumps) and I have tried it there as well with no luck. I have searched the forum and there are a lot of posts on this but I can't locate one for my year/model but don't know if that is what is making this unique, or if I just need to try more things.
thanks!
thanks!
