Through-hull vs transom-mount depth sounders — which choice for your 2026 sailboat

The choice between through-hull and transom-mount depth sounders determines the accuracy of measurements (depth, speed, temperature) for 10-15 years. Through-hull = maximum accuracy, heavy installation, dry dock. Transom-mount = installation simplicity, 10-15% loss of accuracy depending on point of sail. Technical comparison, Airmar/Raymarine/B&G brands, real-world examples for 30-50 ft sailboats.
