I've had shoot-thru transducers mounted on the center line with NO
appreciable loss of signal. Yes, the prohibition is normally for
transom
mounted t'ducers....

But, you have a number of suggestions for trying any position out...why
not
build the dam of plumbers putty on the center line and try it out also?

Don't Carolina skiffs have flat bottoms though?



Most do, some have a very very slight vee. But...the skiffs also have a
couple of inches of flotation between the deck and the hull buttom's
outer skin.

Yes. Which means that the foam must first be scooped out before mounting
the transducer on the centerline of the hull.




Some of the boats have a pad for transducer mounting that has no foam. Is
solid. I would expect CS to have this.
