Hello Glastron fans I purchased my first Glastron last year and love it. I wanted a bass boat my wife said I had to get one that her and the kids could use too so i purchased an 04 gx 185 sf and this thing is awsome. I decided to purchase a new humminbird side imaging unit but now i am running into problems with where to mount the transducer.
Humminbird said that I had to use 2 seperate transducers and move my pitot but I have seen a lot of bass boats with it mounted just under the jack plate or just to one side of it. I have talked with a could of dealerships as well as cabelas and bass pro and i am getting differant answers from all of them. One said it cant be below the motor becasue it will cause overheating. but it seams like my intake is lower than that of a bass boat and those guys dont seem to be having a problem. I have other that have said ya go a head and others that just want me to bring it in to pay 400+ and they will install it.
I was wondering if anyone out there has put one off these units on a I/O and how did they mount it
Thanks for your time
