Many through the hull transducers work using this technique.  My echo sounder
is from the UK (Seafarer) and comes with a tube that permits the same type
of mounting.  There are a few things to look out for.  First, the composition
of your hull may cause problems.  Second, you should check the positioning
of the transducer while underway (just have it wet and place it on the inside
of the hull) to check for water or air flow problems (don't have holes in
front). Do your best to have the transducer in a vertical position.  And, have
it in close contact with the hull.  Remember, if you have a sailboat, you can
have problems when healed (unless you use two with a switch).
