Ok I said I owe a pic. Here’s my totalscan transducer. As mounted it reads great up to 50mph which is as fast as my boat goes. Problem was the spray off of it was really bad. The green plastic is a piece of cheap disposable cutting board. Cut it out and put it on there over 3 years ago and works great. No more spray. I probably could trim some off the back end but never got around to it.

Thats pretty neat. Need to go find a disposable cutting board now. How did you get it to stick to the transducer?

It's sandwiched between the transducer and mounting bracket. Just cut it out and mark where the holes are and cut or drill them out.
