Ok so my previous post has the pics from my I phone but typing on a flat top is easier. My first transducer got torn off the hull. Rough water and it sticks back there on a flimsy mount. I got the through hull and as you can see it is way sturdy. The kicker does interfere a little but I get good full view out the starboard and about 70% Port. If your not afraid to make the hole you could put the through hull just forward of your engine on the center line. The twin transducers I don't know about.
I felt like I needed depth readings on plane so the transducer has to catch a pretty good clean chunk of water to do that. If you don't need depth on plane then a skimmer set up as was previously posted should work. You will most likely loose some coverage on the port but have full view out the starboard. At Willard bay side imaging will show the track-ruts in the access roads that they used to get the scraper up on the dam. Thats right they are not humps they are roads. Good luck with the set up there.[/quote]
we have a built in depth finder that works when using the big engine to travel far and fast, other wise i only look at the fish finder when using the trolling engine and fishing.
i seen a few off shore guys were using the twin transducer deal so thats what gave me the idea.
i dont want to do the thru-hull as i dont want to go putting a hole in the hull of a perfectly fine boat.
im most likely going to end up heading to the gorge this weekend and will only have the 1 on so we will see how it does
