As you'll be rafting down the Grand Canyon for nearly 200 miles, the raft you ride becomes an integral part of your experience in terms of relaxation, whitewater, and ability to move about. While you'll certainly be getting on and off the raft quite a bit every day, your comfort on the raft is important. Western River Expeditions uses a patented raft called the J-Rig. This raft offers one of the most comfortable rides on a Grand Canyon whitewater rafting trip. You'll find plenty of space to stretch out and relax in the calm sections of the river and one of the most exciting rides in the whitewater stretches.
The transducer cable is quite small, except for the large plug which connects to the back of the fish finder. I really hate to drill a 3/4-inch or larger hole to fit the plug and wire though the transom, only to have to fill the space when I'm done. I'd really rather drill a much smaller hole for just the cable to fit through.
A second important feature when selecting a depth finder transducer is the width of the beam (also known as cone angle) it was designed to emit. Transducers with a wide beam width of up to 50Â° will see around their location at a wide section of the bottom.
