Thru hull transducers

[Knotenuftime]

I have a twin engine i/o with trim tabs and dont really have the room for a transducer on the transom. I've decided on a thru hull design. does anyone have pics of their setup and can anyone explain how the fairing block is trimmed so that the transducer itself is pointing straight down?

Fairing blocks are old school. Look into the Airmar Tilted element transducers.

Tilted elements are $750 and up. I'd be looking at through hull if you hull type is solid fiberglass (no core).

A B60-XX tilited element (600W) is less than $200

I was checking out that website and it appear that there is not one made for the Hummingbird side imaging models that I have. Man I love my 997si. ive gotten pretty good with that thing.

Airmar makes high performance transducers for Furuno, Raymarine, Garmin, Lowrance, Simrad and NorthStar. No Hummingbird.

Last I looked the 1KW sets were major bucks. Thats not bad for a 600 watt.
