Something like a SI system, that looks FORWARD rather than to either side. My
says that would be a spider riggers dream ... seeing as how the units are reading what's under the boat (or out to the sides of it), while their rods/lines/baits are 10-15ft OUT IN FRONT of the boat/transducer ... potentially pushing their hooks/baits right INTO the cover they're wanting to fish OVER TOP OF.
That unit, IMHO, "might" well be worth the thousands of dollars asking price of the current units/systems.
... cp
would be nice to see that, and could be done by making a TD mount that would position the TD to be looking hortizonal rather than vertical. Some have done something similar, aka a poor man's SI. The SI beams are so narrow that it probably would not be feasible but a 2d turned sideways could work pretty good since you'll always have "deep" water looking forward, but never have a "lock on bottom".
GO BIG ORANGE !
I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
