Interesting stuff....

Can you tell me how you have your shoot thru mounted in the bilge? Is it off center with some sort of leveling device? Or is it mounted on center in the bottom of the bilge?

Hmmm, maybe I will have to rethink my 'ducer...

Transducer Options
Airmar (603/673-9570; airmar.com) makes transducers with unique mounting systems specifically designed for shoot-through installations. A round or rectangular well (depending on the transducer model) with an open bottom is glued around its bottom edge to the hull. The transducer is then placed inside, the well is filled with mineral or castor oil and capped on top. The assembly’s design compensates for hull deadrise and keeps the transducer aimed straight down. Flexible adhesives can be used because the transducer doesn’t shoot through the glue, but operates through the oil, hull and water below.
