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.
The most efficient transducer mounting available is a true thru hull mount. With these the transducer itself resided on the outside of the hull, pointing straight down, and it has a stem that passes through a hole in the hull. The data cable exits the stem inside the hull and is routed to the display unit.he three ways are to mount the transducer inside the hull and allow the sound to shoot thru the hull material, to mount the transducer on the exterior of the boat, on its bottom, in direct contact with the water, and to mount the transducer on the transom of the boat with its face pointing down into the water.
