Thanks for your answer...you can see how I could have seen this as such concidering the image these produce.

A past member of this list has (had) a great web site depicting how to build one with two economical Hummingbird units and 8 puck transducers (4 pucks per side wired in series-parallel configuration). With the advent of the economical Hummingbird (Model 997 ???) side scan unit that Carsten has described on his web site, home-built becomes moot for the power of this unit. Just build a fish and add some cable to have a very powerful unit.
It is not an ultrascan unit. R/Jay

A question about side scan sonar....Is side scan sonar essentially an ultrascan machine designed to work in the ocean? I just was just curious. Get ideas on sharing photos from people like you.
