Good afternoon. I am seeking knowledge from the Minn Kota experts. I just bought a year old 12' Talon and want to install it on the port side of my Bobs Machine Shop fixed jack plate (on my 2000 202ZX Skeeter). I have looked thru and printed out install instructions for said plate. The only thing that makes me hesitant exactly, is which jack plate bracket is it I should buy? I think the 1810340 is the right one. One other question would be, my set up is 26 yrs old and has the recessed area on the plate where install of elbow bracket goes. Does anyone know if I'll need that shim or is a wait see (when it's install time) thing? If y'all have any tips for me, I appreciate it. Thanks for your time reading and your help. Great site.

Hi, I have used a towfish and hull mounted transducers alot. It's possible to use a towfish close the surface, but it's so much simpler with hull mounted gear. I use hull mounted in waters much deeper than 4,5 m, down to about 20m with good results (in calm weather conditions). Regards, Rickard

hi everybody
i implement side imaging in rivers for archeological survey purposes. the max depth is 4,5 m the side range reach 2 x 50 m today the transducer is attached to the boat under 25 cm of water i wonder if it should be smart to use a towfish and at what depth a problem should be when sailing near the bank line where it is too shallow

hi everybody
rickie suggested me to post this here does somebody know if it is possible to apply a variable gain in the side imaging to lighten the furthest returns ? (for helix of course) i precise that increasing sensitivity should not be the solution because i think that it "lighten" all the sonogram
