[CA] [CA11] Upgrading Axiom sonar capabilities

a7ewizard,

General comment: properly installed thru-hull fishfinder transducers will typically yield maximum performance and will typically hold bottom at the greatest speed.

Q1. Is drag or splash from a TM265 an issue?
A1. Given its size, I would expect a fair amount of spray to be generated by the transducer. The quantity / characteristics of the resulting spray will vary with each hull and how deep the transducer extends beneath the bottom of the hull.

A2. Will it kick up at speed?
A2. Like other transom mounted transducer, when properly installed, I would only expect the TM265 to kick up if it strikes something.

A3. Is it more affected by aeration than a flush mount? My normal cruise is around 30 mph.
A3. Yes.
