Refit after a 5 day of Test. Offshore 20' to 150' of water.
1. X-FIN type: Single xducer, 6 lbs wt in nose, 250' poly rope and CAT6 cable spliced into the xducer cable.
WORKED WELL TILL 120-130 ft depth. May have been cross currents plus 3' to 7' seas. Fish at depth would not hold ALT or HEADING. WENT WILD.

Worked well at all depth DOWN TO 160' @ 1-2 Kt gps ind.
THIS WAS A SIDE BY SIDE TEST BOTH FISH TOWED AT FHE SAME TIME!!!
The XFIN WORK'S FINE.
THE TUBE FIN IS THE ONE FOR ME!

2. Fwd/Vet sonar.
3. Crash/Snag avoidance.
