I picked up a Lowrance X-4 Pro Fish Finder and wanted to install it on my Cal 2-29. The directions state that the bracket should be attached to the transom and the skimmer placed so that it was about halfway in the water. Problem is that my rear is too far out of the water for that to work. The diagrams in the manual show the device can be attached to the bottom of a trawler motor. So I wrote to Lowrance and asked if it could be mounted forward of the prop, with the bracket underwater. They replied that it wouldn't work due to possible cavitation issues. Now, I'm not sure how I'm going to get air down under the boat, but maybe I'm not understanding. My question: has anyone on the list had experience installing this device somewhere besides the transom? Anne Racel 4 Degrees
