Smile Transducer mounting and Dragonfly

I have used the Dragonfly 4.7 on a self contained assembly with over the side ram transducer mount. It has had the same problems when used on auto as well as once in a while catching some floating kelp. The thing is I have used it at the same time as the Lowrance Elite 4 that I have with a transducer mounted at the bottom of a rear scupper hole. What I found is that the Lowrance was more consistent in the readings and has better manual adjustment. I just bought the Lowrance Elite 5 HDS and got it mounted. The transducer is a bit larger and sticks out a little more but not a problem unless I went bottoming out on rocks or boulders (not something I plan on doing). Can't wait for this rain and wind to stop so I can go to L J and try it out. Hopefully tomorrow Tuesday, this unit has a crazy amount of even more setting adjustments and display options.
