I enjoy sailing in Georgian Bay (eastern half of Lake Huron) where
everything is solid rock. Often the bottom will rise from great depths
to semi-submerged walls of granite. Navigation is sometimes akin to
walking a mine field. I was wondering if it would be possible to use
a fishfinder to "look" forward as well as down....so that I could know
when I was approaching one of these boat-stoppers. Something that
only looks down doesn't allow enough reaction time. If the trans-
whatchamacallit were tilted forward and were up closer to the bow
(perhaps at the front of the keel) maybe it would give me <a little> time
to react.
Any thoughts on the matter?
