Captain Chris,
"I got the SternMate Thursday and installed it on my Jones Brothers 23 Bateau that afternoon. Followed instructions to the letter and had absolutely no problems, instructions were excellent although I referenced the website actually more than the written instructions. After letting the adhesive set up I put the boat in the water this afternoon. (Saturday), I am very pleased with the unit as I can hold bottom on my depth finder, (Garmin 3210-GSD 22) up to about 26 knots on fairly smooth water, never could do that before, maybe 8-10 knots at best. I only had to make a couple of minor adjustments. I really believe if I play around with my transducer a little more I can even do better". 6/28/2010
Just wanted to thank you for a great product. Need a reference, I would be happy to anytime.

Sir,
"Taking your advice and playing around with my adjustments, I have been able to read bottom up to 35 MPH [now], on my 23 Jones Brothers Bateau. As an owner of several of these boats, it is a feat I have never been able to achieve before. Thank you for a great product!!!!!!!!!!"

There was no sutable location to mount SternMate nearer the running surface on this congested transom. Customer easily optimizes the signal of his Hummingbird Si transducer.

Captain Chris: "I met you at the Texas Hunting and Fishing show in 2010 in Arlington and talked to you at the show this year. SternMate has held up very well. It has been on the boat for almost a year and a half and has withheld quite a bit of fishing and skiing/tubing. SternMate has performed flawlessly....great product. Hope to see you at the Texas Fishing and Hunting show again next winter". K. Pfeil

Big or Small...SternMate does it's job! Pictured "is the installation {of SternMate} on my Gheenoe (square stern canoe). Even though it is close to my 5 h.p. motor, the depth finder (Hummingbird Down Imaging) works just fine even at top speed in the boat. Also, the tip of the transducer just barely leaves enough room for the motor to turn."
