other
transducers are avail-
able for
your
EAGLE
depth
sounder. Model XD-2 is a
high
speed plastic
unit that can be
transom mounted or can shoot-
thru-hull. It works well on
deep
vee hulls and aluminum boats.
The other transducer
(Model
XD-3)
is for
trolling
motor
mounting
or shoot-thru-hull.

A
special
bracket is available for
the XD-2 transducer that will
put
it below the severe cavita-
tion
layer
that is sometimes
present
on aluminum boats. The
model number for this bracket is
XMB-2.

Mounting
inside the hull is
recommended for
fiberglass
hulls
in
an area that does not
have air bubbles in the resin
or
separated fiberglass layers.
The sonar
signal
must
pass
through
solid
fiberglass.
A
successful transducer installa-
tion can be made on hulls
that have flotation materials
(such as wood or foam) in be-
tween
layers
of
fiberglass
if
the material is removed from
the chosen
area. For
example,
some
manufacturers use a
layer
of
fiberglass,
then a core
of balsa
wood,
and then
the.
outer
layer
of
fiberglass. By
removing
the inner
layer
of
fiberglass
and the balsa wood
core,

SIGNALS
RETURNED BY A ROCKY
BOTTOM

'Plie
signals
returned
from a
rocky
bottom
are
quite
confusing
when
you
first see
them. The
EAGLE's
dial will indicate the
level of the bottom at
the
correct
depth,
but
it
will also show
clear,
thin
signals
above and
below
the wider main
bottom
signal.
This is
explained by
the fact
that the rocks near the
outer
edge
of the cone
of
sound waves are
farther
from the
transducer than those
in the
center,
while
the
tops
of the
latter
are closer than the
bottom.
This
drawing
also
shows the
typical sig-
nals
indicating
a
school of white bass or
bluegills
at a
depth
of
twenty
feet. The
sig-
nals are
brighter
than
those returned
by
bait
fish.
