    Mounting the transducer for a side scanning fishfinder, like Structure Scan from Lowrance and Side Imaging from Hummnbird, seems to be a constant topic of confusion.

    Marine Stereo Speaker Mounting, Right and Wrong

These guys were all running twin outboard boats (Sea Vees) and as many of you will already know, it’s not possible to mount a [...] …Read More
