Sent my chartplotter/fish finder to navico to hopefully get an unrelated software bug fixed, so I have been puttering around my boat, which leads to this thread...
Happy with my Airmar 165HW transducer overall, but looking at where I installed it, which seems to be the best spot for it for least amount of turbulence/noise from under the hull; wondering if I should shim something in there so its actually straight?
I held a straight edge to show you what I mean, hope that description makes sense. (First picture shows straight edge from engine/middle of transom, second photo shows straight edge from the angled part where the transducer is installed below my hand).
I know sonar isn't the be all end all, half the fish I catch has nothing on the screen, but now that I have seen it I can't unsee it. Just wondering what others would do, if anything. Thanks!
