[cool]As I suggested in my email, a floating transducer setup works fine for stationary fishing...off docks, through the ice, or while sitting motionless in a boat or tube (or 'toon). However, if you are movin' and groovin'...prospecting and bottom bouncing, the transducer will be dragged at an angle, and will not give a true straight down cone angle.
For active use, it is better to have the transducer mounted in a form that keeps it pointed straight down...whether moving around or parked and casting, or vertical jigging.
I plan to do some more experimenting with the mounting of the transducer on the new Cuda 168 I will be getting soon. Maybe between us we can come up with a new viable solution.
