Newer Hobie--Pro Angler Question... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Have a question for you newer Hobie and Pro Angler owners. So the newer models come with a Lowrance-ready transducer mount.

My question to everyone is how is this really different than a thru-the-hull application by using grease or glue? OK, I know, it sits in water so that you can get temp, BUT...

My point is that the Lowrance-ready fitting still has to shoot through black plastic. Wouldn't it be better to just dremel out the black plastic plate except for the mount and the three mounting screws so there is an unobstructed view?
