I did what he suggested . I bought an extra cover and cut it away with a jig saw. The unit has down imaging so I gave the transducer a direct shot. . Needless to say , the picture is great . If the the unit does not have down imaging , and is traditional sonar only , is cutting the plate a bad idea ? Does the thin plastic even hinder the signal on say a hds 5 ?
