Yeah, my transducer is about halfway between the end of the transmission and where the packing rope goes.
The water was somewhere in the low 60s. Definitely teeth-chattering temps.
I am planning on getting a tower from MTS. I've been corresponding with them through email, and have been trying to call, but it's not easy to get a person. Hopefully once I have an initial conversation, it'll be easier to keep going. I'm ready to take the boat there immediately, so I hope they can jump on it. Thanks for your recommendations.
