[black][size 3]You are right Tube Dude (but you already knew that[cool]) about the float tubes. I should have thought that one through. I was referring to a pontoon, because of late I am seeing a lot where they are try to mount them as deep as they can and from other reports, it can effect the way the toon floats not to mention the depth.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]I do have mine mounted on my H3 so I can slide it up.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]So this is more in reference to pontoons and this is not absolute, just something to consider.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]I too have been floating long enough to know people are definitely going to do what they want.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]I am not sure what you mean by pointing straight down, I mount mine like you would on the back of a boat. Most transducers I have come across (not as many as you so that is why I ask) are shaped like a half of a circle (more or less) with the strip on the flat side.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]I point that in the direction I will be fishing and that doesn't make any difference if you are fly or spinning.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3]I found this site on transducers and there are a couple that are mounted pointing straight down, but again more for the Hull of a boat and not what use floaters are buying.[/size][/black]
