[size 1]Bottom Line Tournament 1101 Sonar Units
Bottom Line's Tournament 1101 gives every angler the chance to discover a new world below the boat. The 1101 is a versatile fish finder with 128 vertical x 64 pixels for detailed resolution. It has a maximum depth of 240 feet and 1,000 watts of peak-to-peak power. Each includes adjustable depth and fish alarm. Screen measures 3.3" x 2.4". [/size]

[size 1]Is this the critter? It would seem to be a decent unit for a float tube...EXCEPT for the 9 degree cone angle. Most float tube fishing is in water shallower than 20 feet. A 9 degree cone angle will not show much of what is going on below you. The 20 degree cone angles of the Eagle and Humminbird keep float tubers more excited because they show more area (and more fishies).[/size]

[size 1]Your transducer will not come with a shaft already, but will have mounting hardware. You have your choice of using that hardware to fasten the transducer to a piece of wood...or leave off the hardware and screw it onto a PVC pipe. The important thing is that you be able to keep the narrow beam of the transducer pointing straight down. If you don't, you will not get accurate readings.[/size]

[size 1]I am attaching a couple of pics to show you how I set up my transducer on a PVC tube. If yours is similar, you can possibly do something similar.[/size]

[size 1]Let me know if we are on the wrong track. Also, I can post some other pics of rod racks, etc. when you are ready.[/size]
