Hi Tom C. You mount the transducer directly to the transom but be sure to use RULE Elastomeric to coat the screws well and seal the mount. The screws will hold fine unless you strip them out. Even then you can repair easily. I'm not sure about your gps antenna question so I'll let someone else address that. BTW once you have your Triumph hull ID number please register an account with us for a free 1-year Captains Club Member subscription. Congratulations on the new 215!

GPS and Transducer
Hi Tom,
With the attached photos, you will see I use a small Garmin 72 GPS. This GPS has a built in antenna and doesn't have a problem picking up a signal through the Bimini top. I attached the depth sounder with the stainless steel screws supplied and filled the hole with RULE and coated the screws with the same sealent. The sealent sets up quickly, so have everything ready (holes drilled, screw driver, rags, etc.). You can clean up with mineral spirits. I purchased my 170CC in February and have been having a blast.
