    Of the three graphs we had in use this past weekend with the three trandsucers, one of those three were on the bottom of a trolling motor.

    Yes...I do know that transducers off the bottom of trolling motors will have a slightly different reading, usually warmer, than transducers off the back of transoms. That's due to the black color of the trolling motor down in the water as well as maybe a little bit of heat from the electronics running the motor.

    Depending on trolling motor shaft length will depend on how deep that 'ducer is in the water.

    This past weekend...with Jim's bow-mounted trolling motor and his transducer off the bottom of that...was barely under the water...maybe...4 to 5 inches at most? The trolling motor that Jim is using off the front of his boat was meant to be a transom mounted t-motor and has a short shaft length. But he's rigged it up to be up front now and even when an adult is standing on the bow of the boat running that trolling motor...the top of his prop will spin out of the water. So..his is not very deep at all.

    Ronski...get your boat and your electronics over to Webster asap and tell us what you're seeing with your gear. So far...everyone that has posted here thus far is showing their gear to be pretty much in line with everyone elses, regardless of make, model brand and age......except yours.
