[cool][size 1]Hey, JapanRon, let's see if I can properly address your questions and concerns.[/size]
[size 1]1. The vehicle becomes necessary for locomotion when the lake dries up. At that point the transducer is not sending through water anyway.[/size]
[size 1]2. That transducer is the standard 20 degree Eagle skimmer unit. It shoots straight down only. However, with a flexible cord arrangement, you can "widen your horizons". I have played around with that in the past. It requires that you hold it in position for a few seconds, before it begins transmitting a continuous signal. It works well for scanning a nearby steep sloping bank for potential structure oriented fishies. If you see some, you can cast to them without having to go over them first. But, a true "side-finder" feature is better suited for that task.[/size]
[size 1]I just got it rigged over the weekend. Trying to get out on the pond with Shrimpboy, from Utah, on Tuesday. Will be putting both the new transducer mount and the new rod holders to the test.[/size]
