would there be any advantage to adding some weight to the transducer? maybe bolting on some steel as weight using the existing bolt hole?are you sinking it below the ice? or is it ok just below the surface like it is on a boat?what are u using for a float?
just loop the cord on the skimmer transducer - (Image removed from quote.)
