I don't know how interested you guys might be as this project is specific to the portable boat shown on the rack I built [New Truck Rack] thread. The photo's were used in a document for the portaboat web site as instructions to build one. Except for some tent stakes [large nails and chainlinks], this was the first project I made with the HH135. The sizes will be easy to change and can be modified to accept any sonar for portable use on any small boat with a transum.

Sonar Holder
I had some pictures of the thing mounted on the boat but they got away from me. This last picture will be of the holder sort of mounted to the fridge in the kitchen!Regards, George

One more thing, picture of the whole rig and the padded case I made for it. Yes, I can sew also [used to own an auto upholstry shop years ago.Regards, George

Very professional job. Good work George.
I did some professional electronic work with sonar years ago. Always wanted to build a multiple transducer rig to go underwater treasure hunting.

Bob,
Whats a multi transducer rig, sounds interesting...
Rocky D.,
Thanks, now if I could find a way to afford to move to San Diego, I'd be happy! I guess I could afford to move, buying a house would be another matter...Regards, George

Sundown,
With the single transducer depth is measured by return time for the sound in water. I think they can tell a litttle bit about what the sound bounced off of, but you don't get direction, just range.
With multiple transducers, you get multiple ranges. Those can be translated into 3D locations. With a large array you can get images of stuff.
On one episode we towed a 3-mile long "hose" full of transducers and electronics around the Marina Trench for 10 days. G-job.
Suspect one could get something with maybe 3-4 transducers around a boat and 1-2 towed or lowered on a modest (30-50') cable.
Don't think I have seen anything commercially available. Maybe a retirement project someday.
