Clever Transducer Idea

[Ketchup]

Borrowed this from a post Al Rawlings made on the FB Lowrance page that he made to his boat. 
 

So many little reasons that this idea would be handy, from the differences from a full load of fuel to 1/4 tank, and from having a full tournament load, to fishing alone to get the best image possible. You can adjust the ducer on the fly at any time. 

awesome seeing a simple idea come to light that most of us would never even think of.

That would be handy for pulling it up out of harms way while snaking through a stump flat.

I have no idea what is going on.

Great point. As expensive as they are, that would be another good reason to fab one up. The person who sticks a patent on it quick will be the next Bill Gates. The original guy has no interest in it.

Hey Daryk,

 Al fabbed up an old outboard throttle cable next to his console on his boat, ran it back to his transducer. He can adjust the tilt of the transducer while sitting at the console.

I like it 👍 

Using a livewell drain cable would make it a bit less "overbuilt".

Isn't his transducer facing the wrong way?  Shouldn't the wire be towards the front of the boat?  Or maybe it doesn't really matter?

All that matters is left and right.  If my memory is still good there is a menu option to change the left/right settings.

Correct.

I see it now.  I didn't recognize that it was the transom, and trailer.   I didn't see it.   Made out the transducer (s)  and the cable, honestly I thought it was a brake cable fron a bicycle.
