Folks,

I’m contemplating installing an HDS system with structure scan myself on my 2320. I've installed and flush mounted several different multi-function electronic devices, trim tabs, radio's etc. before on my other boat so I'm not terrified of the process but, my 2320 w/ full transom presents some challenges that I didn't have to deal with on my last boat.

For my situation the LSS transducer will have to be a transom mount, my first question is in regard to running the sonar cable to the black box from the transom mount, there is a solid armstrong swim deck in the way :( I assume the only option here is to drill? it will have to be a pretty big hole to allow the plug to pass through.... once through the swim platform, I was thinking to leverage the engine harness rigging hole to get inside the boat but, there also doesn't seem to be a good way to get into that without creating a hole that water will certainly intrude through. Any thoughts? How have others routed the cables from the xducer?
 
i have the same boat and i have a hds-8 DO NOT drill the swim platform--and or bracket--i have a thru hull tranducer and the sidescan transducer-drill into the transom under the bracket--

You have any pictures? I'm thinking about adding a NSS8 with structure scan.

I would also appreciate any pictures you can provide of the transducer mount and where you drilled through the transom
