looking for somebody to install fisfinders

[akitaone]

i have a 18.5ft tracker targa and would like to install two units,one on the dash and one on the bow.i had them on last yr and had a rooster tail off one transducer and the side imaging only worked on the starboard side because of the motor.I would like them done the right way, and will bring the boat to you if i need to.I live in north syracuse.they are humminbird

The design of the humminbird transducer is flawed and does throw a rooster tail. Not anything you did there.

The solution that works best is to take a piece of 3"x3" angle aluminum, drill it out to match transducer mount, then affix it between transducer mount and boat, like a spray shield if it bothers you.

Oh, and as for the motor in the way, sounds like you just need to tilt the transducer a few degrees forward to get in front of the lower unit.

YodaMage do u have a picture of this set up with the 3"x3" angle aluminum?I kind of have an idea of it but not sure.and when u say angle the transducer down will that increase the chance of it getting knocked off because it will be below the boat more?

I didn't get a chance to take a pic of my boat...but here are a couple of links you'll get the gist from:

and this guy who did exactly as I did with angle aluminum though he used PVC

Tilting it down a few degrees will expose maybe 1/4 more to impacts...not a difference worth discussing...and they are designed to pop up if they get wacked anyway.
