Any one have a clue as to what type of transducer this is?

Funky!   :afro:  

I would take it off and fill the hole ASAP.

[seabob4]

Cannot say I've ever seen one like that before...but I can find out!

[Circle Hooked]

That is strange  

[Hawg Hunter]

Is that a spacer above it  to angle it in a down position?

[seabob4]

Hey, I'm tryin', but so far, no dice.  Semperfishing, he know's his chit, he's an electronics vendor out in CA...

That sucker is pulling some serious turbulence.

I'm with John....get that zit gone.

Not sure what it is. Was the boat formerly used commercially...like survey work, mineralogy, etc?

One way or the other...get rid of it, the top end/fuel economy will improve.

Agreed...

External thru-hull transducers extend beyond the hull’s surface and
usually require a fairing to aim the sound beam vertically. They are
right for larger un-trailered vessels. When external mounts are
installed with a High-Performance Fairing, the transducer face is
flush with the surface of the fairing and parallel to the waterline,
resulting in a truly vertical beam, putting maximum energy on the
target. This installation, when mounted in “clean water,” forward
of propellers and running gear, produces the most effective signal
return, since nothing on the vessel interferes with the transducer’s
active face.

Pretty good huh.

Here's what a quick search found

Yours doesn't appear too streamlined to me though. :o

HIFLUTIN,
Can you post a better pic of your "transducer"?

[flfisher]

I would check with airmar since they make most transducers.

[HIFLUTIN]

Guys decided to take off
Run in skinny water & might get knocked around.
It a bad-_ss unit-all brass etc.
I wonder if it could used as a thru-hull?

[c master]

I had a similar size unit on my 40' sailboat.  Mine would read accurately to about 1000' depth...maybe more.  But I doubt it would have been a good choice for a planing hull, except at non-planing speeds.

The hole needs to be filled correctly.

I saw one like that on "Shipshape TV" and he was changing it out for a "shoot through the hull" type. Of course he is "good friends" with everyone and gets everything for a good price. (free)

[seabob4]

Ah hell, it's just an old Airmar "football".  That first pic you posted didn't give any indication that it is what we're used to.

Yes, you can use it as a shoot-thru.  Just make sure there is no coring in the area you mount it...
