2320 hull solid or cored?

[big tuna]

I installed the angled fairing block about 5 years ago and it is solid. The hole through the hull is the same or similar size as a flush mount. Love it! Only lose bottom when hard in reverse.

Any particular reason you mounted it on the angled starboard side rather than the flat section in the center?

I do not recall why I put it on the starboard side. It was 5-6 years ago.

FWIW in a single engine application. anything significant protruding from the flat pad in the center can cause the prop to ventilate.

Good to know. Would it be OK to install a flush mounted thru-hull transducer in the center instead of one with the fairing block?

I have not installed an Airmar low profile thru-hull yet on the flat pad. So, I can't give you any first hand input on it's performance there.

If I had to guess, with the engine on a bracket which sets it back aways from the pad, I "think" it would work. Maybe someone here has done it and can give you their thoughts.
