Here is a photo of the added through-hull transducer. The entire setup works very well.

Sorry for my late reply (I should really log in more often to cobaltchat). I ended up going with the Simrad Navico B60-20 20° Tilted Element through-hull transducer. It's a clean install and I prefer bronze vs. plastic.

bruceb58, you are correct, that's not the thu-hull transducer. It's the transom-mounted 3-in-1 transducer you linked to (which is rather large) that I currently own.

Short of calling the Cobalt factory this week I'm guessing the Garmin 7607 installs also utilize the thru-hull transducer (mounted ...

Thanks, everyone, for your feedback and insight. Below is a photo of the transducer. As you can see it’s not petite but does pack in a lot of technology.

My electronics expert friend (who works at West Marine) did recommend that I reach out to you all for your Cobalt/transducer expertise (since ...

I recently installed a Simrad GO5 XSE Fishfinder/Chartplotter Combo with Active Imaging 3-In-1 Transducer and C-MAP Pro Charts on my 2015 Cobalt 220 WSS (see below pics). I’m pleased with the clean install. It sits as good as the factory flush dashboard mounted Garmin 640 GPS.

However, I did not ...

I also have a 2015 Cobalt 220s WSS and this weekend installed a Simrad GO5 XSE Fishfinder/Chartplotter Combo with Active Imaging 3-In-1 Transducer and C-MAP Pro Charts.

Background: Back in 2015, when our 220s’ were new, there was a factory option to add a flush dashboard mounted Garmin 640 GPS (to ...

2016 F150 Platinum and 2015 220 WSS (with Mount Si in the background).

Thank you, all, for your feedback/insight. I'm now reconsidering the placement and size of the unit (and have time to contact Cobalt, directly). It will now end up being a winter project.

Back in 2015, when my Cobalt 220 WSS was new, there was a factory option to add a flush dashboard mounted Garmin 640 GPS (to the right of the steering wheel – replacing the plastic storage insert). The Garmin’s dimensions are 5.9"W x 4"H x 1.9"D. I want to install a Simrad GO5 XSE (also replacing ...

I appreciate the continued welcomes/positive feedback on our Cobalt purchase. This past weekend I spent hours detailing it (loving every minute, that is, exploring every inch). Also, thanks for looking out for me with the trailer (torsion vs. spring axels). I did verify the 2016 Eagle trailer (which ...

Houseboat answer (from my Sept. 6 post): The houseboat is memorable because it was in the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan movie “Sleepless in Seattle”. It’s the largest houseboat on Lake Union (with four bedrooms and two bathrooms).

Here's a couple from this past Labor Day weekend on the water. Bonus: What makes this houseboat memorable?

More importantly than our old boat, here's several of the 220 WSS on the way back to storage/it's new home (with Elk watching - while I was putting the covers on).

A few more...

Here's pics of the Scout Abaco 242 we sold for the Cobalt.
