For side scan/Down imaging you don't need high end batteries.

The cutting board made me die laughing! 😅 I like your glue idea worst case scenario it falls off and it dangles

How is this holding up for you? Any chance you could do a follow up with lessons learned and a shot of the transducer from below to see how much clearance there is?

Hi Grant. Do you have any issue with getting full side view? Just want to know how much it has to stick past the bottom. Thanks

I was wondering the same….so far all people I’ve spoke to seems to think flush with the bottom of the yak is sufficient. Do you find that true?
