Thanks Tom,

I think the last time I was out on the reef I would have been running Low, High chirp, side view and chart in my split.

If the weather comes good in a few weeks or so i'll try and head out to the reef again and run the tests again in the deep water and get some screen shots in full auto for all sonar frequencies.

I did has some one suggest that the TM needed to be deeper. I would have thought that it could have still been ploughing too much. The inside edge of the TM is just above hull level and the outside edge is about 20mm below the hull. I did have it 10mm lower when i first set it up and i feel the image was worse. I might even do the turning trick and see if turning either way improves the image.

I might put a little bit of marine sealant on the transom bracket for the TM too just to see if that may help take out a wee bit of vibration or cushion it a bit. I have only done the screws at present since i have had to fiddle with the height and didn't really want to peel sealant off the transom every time i had to shift something.

I'll keep you posted on when i can get back out in the boat and do some more testing and trialing.

The last resort that i had in mind was going to thru hull transducer pairs. Can they still suffer vibration issues? Only thing that made me reluctant in the first place was putting two 100mm holes in the hull of a 2 year old boat. If they didn't work properly i'd cry and my wife wouldn't be impressed.

Anyway i'll keep you posted on how i progress trying to perfect my system.

Thank you very much for your assistance to date and i'll be in touch.

Kind Regards

Ryan
