height of bunk bases

The small drawings on the website show the top of the bunk mouldings at about lwl.
Has anyone checked this out?
I would like to glass in a box around the log through hull, as I hate the idea of the boat sinking, whilst I struggle to get the transducer in.
I always remove the transducer when I leave the boat, due to the soup we sail in.

Re: height of bunk bases

Forgive me for saying so, but it sounds like the proposed solution is going to add a problem where none existed. If you swap the transducer out on a regular basis, you are likely quite adept at it; what little water comes in probably just drains away into the bilge, out of the way.

If you make a box, that water will fill the seat area as you make the swap, making it difficult to see what you are doing and generally complicating things. If a _lot_ of water comes in during the exchange, it will, instead of flowing into a bilge that has room for it, fill your new tank then overflow all over the seat, sole, etc.

Far better to have a nice softwood plug to bang in the hole if there is a real problem. Thinking about jumping in the "soup" you speak of to bang in the plug should make you extra careful not to cross-thread or otherwise damage your transducer or its replacement.
