Post subject: | humminbird transducer choice for Ti |
i tried my 798 Si unit on the Ti at the weekend. Unfortunately the over the side transducer mount i have for the revo just gets pushed up because of the speed. I was thinking of using an internally mounted transducer and forsaking the side imaging if there is a transducer that work on that basis. Does anyone know if it is possible to use anything other than the Si transducer? Cc |

I don't think it'll work in a shoot-thru-hull configuration. What you may have to do is fabricate a mount that you can swing up while under strong sail power, and swing down when you're moving slower. ................. |

A string from the bottom of the swing over arm forwards to keep it in place. cheaper than a new transducer! here is the revo setup |

Humminbird response "Yes, you can use a regular sonar transducer to shoot thru the hull if a fiberglass hull boat that would provide traditional sonar only. You would use the xp 9 20." i am going to try the reinforced over the side option first Cc |
