The only issue with this type of jackplate install is that the left side beam may bounce off the opposing vertical jackplate surface ... creating a constant echo close to the centerline in the SI image ...



Point #1 - This can be eliminated by also installing a hole shot plate under the jackplate so the SI beam has nothing vertical to the side to echo off of ...

Point #2 - It's unlikely there will be any fish, bait, or structure this close to the xducer that this jackplate echo would cover up in the SI image ...
