I haven't had my 898 SI unit long enough to fully understand its potential, so maybe I'm over thinking this.
So far I love what I'm seeing, and I'm glad now that I spent the money, but I quickly realized it's not favorable to my favorite style of fishing (sideways drifting). My question is.
If I were able to devise a mount that could be used in normal operation as intended, but had the ability to be rotated 90 degrees while drifting, would the hull of the boat being above the SI beam, have an adverse affect on it? OR would a second transducer mounted off of the side of the boat perpendicular to the hull be a better alternative. (removable for forward travel)
I'd love to be able to scan a drift pass, to give me the ability to plot the next pass.
