Just never liked the above deck mounting even if it is convenient. Figured if mounted below deck, it makes for a cleaner looking install and keeps everything out of the elements.
I know the clear bowl is for above deck but have seen metal bowls mounted above deck by guys for various reasons. Just thought of going that route.
Mine is mounted in the splash well, IMO too low. Drain petcock takes a beating from fish flopping around (rare with me...

) but also from a deck brush.
Thought of somehow recess mounting this in the same area as well???? Just looking for input to as what guys have.
