I've really been enjoying these technical videos. It's easy to see, you've put a lot of time into the production and just want to let you know it's appreciated. I have the Furuno TZT3 12" and 10" units with traditional 2d and Dff3d. I also have a 9" Simrad unit, so I can directly relate to these videos. Being my boat is only 23', I have to work on my transducer placement because my current placement doesn't provide the best picture due to the lack of room to properly install them. I think in the near future I will try and install the Dff3d transducer in a fairing block, similar to your setup. Either way I just wanted to let you know this series is great so far and I can't wait to see how it progresses.
Thanks for the positive feedback, I really appreciate it. We have very similar setups. I think putting the B54 transducer for the DFF5D in a fairing block was a good move, but I was lucky to get it right first time. My other transducers are transom mounted, and it took a number of trips out to get the placement right. Well worth the effort.
Thank you. Yes and no, sorta. The B54 multibeam transducer sends out 40 x 3° beams to make a total coverage of 120° side to side. Each beam will have a sonar shadow and fish will not be detectable inside that shadow but taken in total, the overall sonar shadow will be reduced by virtue of the much narrower individual beams.

These videos are fantastic. Thank you for putting these together. Have enjoyed everyone.
Thank you for the feedback. I am glad you are finding them helpful.
Wow, that was very informative.
@@Beyondthebackyard-au thank you.

Very informative! Thanks for your efforts! I really appreciate it.
I am wondering if DFF3D can detect the fish in sonar shadow?
Thank you.

@@weFishAU Thanks！I have a better understanding of sonar shadow now.
