My Raymarine depth sounder seems to lose the bottom from time to time (5-10% of the time), often in shallowish water. Seems to occur when trimming bow down, or changing speed but it's really quite intermittent and annoying.
I've had my diver focus on keeping it clean but it still happens.
During my next haul out I'm thinking of installing a back up transducer and depth sounder (not Raymarine!)
I've been told that there are good ones that actually read through the hull. This would be nice and I won't need to put another hole in the bottom. Whatever I decide I want a reliable read!
Also, where is an ideal location for such a thing?
Any suggestions? Thanks.
