MJ's 2nd link didn't transfer under REEL RESULTS, so I'll just tell you here...IT WORKED GREAT!!...that boat also had trim tabs...but they were negated with this "shoot-thru" transducer installation...idling around looking for fish all the way to running at full speed, it read the bottom w/out fail...better than any of the standard bracketed installs I've personally done or seen done by others...it REELY was a great way to go...
If you have any questions about this installation, ask away...
One note...some FF transducers have the water temp sensor built into them...and of course installing one as above will not allow the temp sensor to do its thing, so keep that in mind...
