Thread: Updating and Upgrading My Skeeter F-80 Strada

ForeSure going to have to remember this method. If I can get it straight in my head now, lol...I'll reread it a few dozen times and right it down.

Posting these procedures takes a bit of thought to try to write accurate directions. Some of my posting needs re-reading anyway as I had trouble writing the directions to start with. If you maintain a parallel transducer at the speed you want to sidescan you get the best return possible. Your cockpit deck is the best place to put a level, btw is needs to be a long level, 4ft or longer. The transducer can't be tilted up or down. I have found 3mph is my best speed for a noisy hull (lots of trapped air bubbles passing under the hull). The air bubbles disrupt the sonar causing a interference overlay on the screen. My E-Tec charging system, a 3-phase power that the engine systems run on (not the charging coil for the battery) makes so much noise when I turn the key off the screens clear way up.
