I don't remember what that one in particular looks like but I used to use a manual one years ago that had a weight dangled over the gunwhale attached to a wire and a gauge that you positioned on the gunwhale that had a colored scale on it that went from green (slow end of troll) orange then red (fast troll). You looked at it in conjunction with the angle of lines and rod tips. When you had a hit you looked at the exact spot on the scale so you could return to it. I used to keep very small thin strips of tape nearby and would apply a piece to the spot when I had a hit.

My hunch is the 50 will be a problem but let the data speak for itself give it a shot. As far as placement I have a transducer from my depth finder sharing a screw with the Fishhawk and it no problem. Turbulence from the main or kicker is usually the primary concern and you want a transducer away from chines or strakes on the hull and not so far outward toward the side on the hull that it isn't fully submerged all the time. The angle it is pointing should be checked and adjusted optimally and the amount of protrusion from the bottom surface of the hull as well.

Distance from the other transducer isn't the first consideration and may not be one at all. The question is what is the frequency (e.g. khz) of the existing transducer. The Fishawk transducer frequency is 70 khz. The currently installed unit can't be close to that frequency (e.g. 50 or 83 khz) or you will probably have a problem. If it is maybe 125 khz upward the problem should be minimized or non-existant even if the transducer is located close to the pother one.

Maybe if you do multispecies and fish impoundments or reservoirs etc. but not necessary for trout/salmon trolling.

Good article, and it also mentions the main culprit that helps the perpetrators (often fully financed state (other countries) supported hackers working 24/7 to do us in and that is people either using sloppy procedures, bypassing procedures, or doing personal stuff on company computers (e.g. flash drive activity etc.). Not much is needed to create holes in most security. Of particular concern is the fact that many big companies, banks, or utility companies don't report the breaks because of the negative fallout and publicity so the extent and severity of the activity is disguised. It is like a ticking time bomb.

I'm certain it was a whole more than guessing at passwords etc. They hacked into the software comp[any that provides security for our government and they stole the tools we use to hack and trace down other adversary countries. In short the game is over right now combining that with the fact that the scums at Honeywell gave the blueprints for our most advanced aircraft (fighters and bombers) to the Chinese. Thye have been trying to get into the electric grid too and if that happens we are at the mercy of our adversaries.

I use #2's but those should work OK too.

Another option to consider is using snap weights on what you have so you don't have all that reeling in of line.

I would say to all the people out there "sitting on the fence" about entering "Go for it". The derby is a lot of fun, can be a great family event, and the odds regarding winning prize money is a heck of a lot better than buying lottery tickets stc. The lake may not be the easiest fishing these days but the challenge of it is what it is all about. A derby like this is not all about catching the MOST fish....it is about catching that one LARGEST fish out there and luck plays a role in it for everyone so everybody has a chance at it whether in small craft or large or with all the latest "gizmos" and electronics. Where else do you get a chance at $10,000 for just having fun?
