Thread: Another FishFinder Question.....

Attachment 20722
After looking at this picture for a while, I think I have 3 problems that can cause turbulence and erractic readings...#1-Rivets...#2-the rib or skag located directly in front of the transducer...#3- The top of the transducer is below the bottom of the boat that is probably extra turbulence.... I really dont want to go any deeper in the water so I think this is what I am going to do: First of all, I am going to move the transducer up to where the bottom of the transducer is even with the bottom of the boat. This will eliminate extra turbulence caused by the transducer itself. I dont think this will solve the problem, but it aint gonna hurt anything. The 2nd thing I am gonna do is nothing!!!...I guess I am just gonna have to live with it. I'll just have to mark some waypoints on my GPS while going at lower speeds and just follow those waypoints in the future when I am going from one spot to another. Maybe a little time consuming, but at least it will be a tool to know I am running in the depth of water I feel comfortable at....The other option will be to just follow yall around:p....Thx for all the input everyone!!
