hey how is every one,
i have a humminbird piranha max 210 single beam finder, and im trying to find a shoot through hull mount transducer for a tinny, and im not haveing much luck... and was hopeing maybe you guys or any one els knows or can recomend one that suits my modlle finder...
after three seasons (years) ive decided to give up on the tranny mount one suplied cause i just cant seem to get it in the right spot!!! ive done every thing the manual recomends
but i still get interference and skipping at and before a plane and more often than ocashoinly i find myself haveing to reach in and just give it a wipe with my fingers to get a better signal...like i said ive tried many spots and find it very frustrating because i dont know how to test it acuratly out of the watter so i wait until next trip and hope its better !!! usealy not!!! so im hopeing a shoot through transducer should eliminate all that and be alot more acurate due to the lack of interference with the aluminium "i hope"
but i would not have a clue where to start.. any imfo is greatly apricated as im desparate to get it right for this commigng season cheers guys

thanks again guys
i also did some reading here of other post's from people with similer probs im haveing and thought i should quicly post what ive learnt so far so maybe it can help others aswell :) my curent transom mount transducer is curently sitting and angled flush inline with the bottom of the tinny wich seems to be the general rule for most of em "even in the suplied manual it came with" but aparently with humminbird transducers they recon need to be mounted much lower than that so far in fact they acualy sell spray gaurds to prevent watter from spraying up under your outboard motor when on a plane! pluss adding perhaps a five degree tilt once set up and leveld off should reduce air bubbles that was likely to be the cause of my problem mentioned in first post..... but im give it all a go, lower it and see if that fixes it and (hopefully) ill post some positive results cheers :cool:
