I am curious in how the side image transducer work's for a humminbird transducer. I have heard that the sonar will shoot down to the bottom before it shoots out to the sides. I have always been under the assumption that it just shoots straight out to the sides. The reason i ask this is because i am contemplating installing smart tabs on my boat and due to the boats design there is a a chance they will interfere with the side image display because they will hang just below the transducer . ...any thoughts would be much appreciated.
