Just wondering what others have done, the manual says a shoot thru the hull method MAY diminish the returns on the down imaging side of the sonar.
I felt on my old fish finder that the shoot thru method affected the sonar returns, never gave accurate reading especially at speed.
I am a little skittish about drilling into my fibreglass but I am thinking if I want the full benefit of down imaging then a transom mounted ducer is the way to go.
The boat is Stratos 176XT wondering what other glass boat owners thoughts are on the install.
Thanks
