Shane at Divine replaced the Fusion stereo and speakers on my boat. He did an incredible job guiding me to the right solution and then doing the install. He was mobile so the experience was quite convenient and the workmanship was of the highest quality. In addition, he gave me recommendations to other service providers to do repairs on my boat. My experience was terrific and I highly recommend Shane and Divine.

Shane was great! Very knowledgeable about audio and electronics, great suggestions for products. Best of all, he picked up my boat and returned it the very next day with all new sound system! Really happy with the update so far!

Shane is wonderful to work with. He put a much needed upgraded sound system on my yacht in Lake Union and some other nice gadgets. Beautiful workmanship.
Sonar & Transducers Seattle
Sonar That Reads Clean At Speed, Not Just At The Dock
A transducer is a precision instrument living in a hostile spot. Mounted a few degrees off, in turbulent water, or with a sloppy fairing block, it will read fine at the dock and blow out into noise the moment you get on plane. Most sonar complaints we diagnose are placement and installation problems, not equipment problems.
We install through hull, transom and in hull transducers from Airmar and every major electronics brand: CHIRP traditional sonar, DownVision and SideVision imaging, and full wide beam systems for serious fishing. Placement is chosen for clean, non aerated water flow at your cruise speed, with deadrise compensated and fairing blocks shaped correctly.
Through hull work is done right: proper hole sizing, correct bedding compound, torqued to spec and leak checked. We coordinate haul outs with local yards and can pilot the boat, so the whole job stays with one crew.
Capabilities
What We Do
Thermal, low light and engine room cameras, installed and networked as one system.
Through Hull Transducers
Bronze and stainless through hull installs with correct fairing blocks, bedding and torque for clean readings at speed.
Transom Mounts
Transom transducers positioned in clean water flow, adjusted for your hull running angle.
In Hull Shoot Through
In hull transducers bedded in solid fiberglass for boats where drilling is not an option.
CHIRP & Imaging Sonar
CHIRP traditional, DownVision, SideVision and live imaging systems configured for local depths and bottom types.
Deadrise & Fairing
Correct fairing block shaping and deadrise compensation so the beam points straight down, not off at an angle.
Calibration & Tuning
Depth offsets, scroll speed, gain and palette tuned on the water for the way you fish or cruise.
How It Goes
The Process
Four steps from the first look at your boat to a night test on the water.
Hull & Flow Assessment
We identify clean water locations on your hull and choose the mount type that fits your hull construction and use.
Install
Transducer mounted with proper bedding, fairing and cable routing. Through hull work is torqued to spec and leak checked.
Network & Configure
Sonar module networked to your displays with correct source selection and chart overlay where supported.
On Water Calibration
Depth offset, gain and imaging settings tuned under way, including readings at cruise speed.
Every Transducer Install Includes
- Placement chosen for clean water flow at cruise speed
- Deadrise compensated with correctly shaped fairing blocks
- Through hull fittings bedded, torqued and leak checked
- Depth offset calibrated to your reference point
- Sonar verified reading clean at speed, not just at the dock
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a through hull transducer need a haul out?
Yes. Through hull installs require the boat out of the water. We coordinate the haul out with local yards and can pilot the boat, so you are not managing three vendors.
Why does my sonar lose the bottom at speed?
Almost always placement or turbulence. The transducer is sitting in aerated water at speed. Relocating it or correcting the fairing usually fixes it completely.
Can I get side imaging on my boat?
Most boats can. Side imaging transducers need a clean unobstructed view to both sides, so placement matters more than usual. We assess your hull and tell you honestly what results to expect.
In hull or through hull, which is better?
Through hull performs best, especially at speed and depth. In hull works well on solid fiberglass hulls without coring and avoids a new hole. We recommend based on your hull construction and how you use the sonar.
