 chucking up here first for a sniff around

Ive got a Simrad NSS16, looking around for a transducer.

Not really thought too much about it so could use thru hull 20 deg or transom mount?

 Hi Rod i was in the exact same place as you 18 onths ago. Researched a heap and ended up going with SS175M Airmar thru hull. Been the best decision ever!!! The definition in close 10-60m is insanely good. Then out in 300m plus it really came into its own finding rubies no-worries at all. Picks up really well at speed for any depth, but like any transducer when you find siomething of interest its always much better on the turn around and run over it slower!

 thanks mate, yeah looking at thru hull, but as we beach a bit etc, Im wondering if the face will get damaged later on?

Where I am we rarely get out past 100 meters, makes me think possibly H rather than M?

Hi Rob

Interesting to see your boat picture has moved from looking left to looking right. Looking good though!. If you're still in Gero go have a chat to Mitch ( pretty sure he's passed the baton on to his son ) or Haydn at Geraldton Marine Electronics. They're Simrad dealers and installed a full Simrad suite on my cat. We went for a wetbox 1kw Airmar mounted midships, no chances of ever being able to damage it this way......:D
