[QUOTE="Sparky508, post: 469531, member: 25164"] Hinges are on the bottom of the pods, mounting to the angle in the picks, which is near flush to the hull. Or will be when they get here...... it's the gap on the side of the pod that I was initially concerned about. The bottom will be relatively smooth in the waterline. Once I get the hinges and actuators all mounted up, and see what kind of throw I'm getting, I'll play with the transducer mount. Pending which actuator I use, ( have a couple to play with), and the angles I get. I'm thinking possibly about using a micro actuator to adjust the angle of the transducer. Back fed from that pods control, I could automatically keep it level as it ran through its course of travel. Might need a potentiometer to adjust the speed. Or perhaps it could be flexibly mounted to a pod while using a gas strut to keep it at a preset angle as the pod articulates. [/QUOTE]
