R29 Transducer

RT did move the transducer in later R29 builds because they said it gave better and more accurate information and on my 2019 R29 CB NW Edition the transducer is located directly on the hull and directly under the cockpit storage locker(s) adjacent to the starboard side cabin wall. I captured this when I visited the Monroe factory as my R29 was being assembled. It's not easily accessed and there's a hole in the base of the storage locker (mentioned above) that provides a straight line view to the transducer. Maintenance for this transducer will likely be a real PITA. In my case, the hole is not plugged as mentioned by Kevin and I have to take care nothing falls through the hole; I have plugged it with a soft rag to avoid things falling down the hole. My guess is that unless you have a very very skinny arm with cameras in its finger tips you will have no success in dealing with any transducer maintenance. In my case, I suspect I would have to open up the hole to be bigger so access to the transducer is more manageable. If my transducer does fail within my new boat warranty, I'll be having RT do the transducer maintenance for sure. ;) Note: The only way to view the transducer is to clear out all the stuff in the cockpit's starboard double stacked storage lockers up against the cabin wall (this is where the cockpit rear helm is located on/in the double stacked storage lockers or the sink option is located in same location). Then stick your head as best you can into the lower or upper storage locker and peer down through the hole; a mirror on a stick could be used for this I suppose as an alternative. I really hope I never have to do transducer maintenance on my boat outside of its factory warranty period.
