Thank you for your comment Rogelio. Next haulout I am considering an in hullmount transducer looking though a solid fiber glass panel directly in front of the keel.

So I tested the tow fish and it worked perfectly. At slower speeds I dropped it down about twenty feet in fifty feet of water and got beautiful Chrip sonar images. I added some frayed poly line on the cord/strength cord to dissipate the air bubble that cavitates around the cord. It all worked very well. I posted a photo somewhere on the site

I have installed transom mount transducers on a swing down leg. That has worked well. I swing it up at high speeds. All in all I prefer a nodule on the inner side of the hull.

Hello Rob. I think I’ll keep to the periscope stick install and abandon the tow fish concept. I definitely need to refine my approach. If I ever get anything to work I will post some pics. Thanks for your response<br />

Hello Rob. I took the tow fish and mounted it on a stick and stuck it in the water going around 8knots. I was really surprised at the amount of drag generated. It took considerable force to maintain its attitude in the water. A lot of air traveled down the rod and caused a bubble around the fish. A stronger sleeker smaller device might be needed. I am also considering some kind of removable pod up against the hull. Maybe a couple of bolts though the hull above the waterline. What I’m trying to…
