Mounting Ping 360 underneath BR2

[k-deboer]

Hey gang,

I’m curious if there is any advantage to mounting the Ping 360 inverted under BR2? It seems like a logical place, notwithstanding the potential for physical damage if getting too close to a hard bottom. And is there a setting in Ping Viewer to reflect an inverted sensor?

Cheers!

I can’t really think of a good practical reason why that would be any better unless you needed to get the head closer to the bottom for some reason.

Regardless, there’s a setting in Ping-Viewer to have an inverted Ping360 head: “Head Down” setting.

Hi!
To give you another idea, I have frontmounted the Ping360 with good result.

Ping360 positive experience, and alternative mounting

Thanks for a good product and competetive price with the new Ping360 sonar! Real nice plug and play installation and use with Ping viewer. One nice feature for future Pingviewer would be a function to keep settings like scan angle and range between sessions. Either making them persistent, or in memory accessible from UI. I have made an alternative mounting, Ping360 is in front of the 3" tube, why: +Less drag +Less risk of hitting something above in tight spaces +Less risk of damage at laun…

Thanks guys,

I ended up abandoning the underneath idea, and stick with it mounted up top. I had to elevate it a bit, to ‘peer’ over the CeruleanSonar USBL beacon.
