Are two in hull transducers a problem?

[pjbuilder]

Looking for some transducer advice. I've had problems with my Bottom Line transom mount transducer losing bottom at any speed beyond no wake. I think my Stratos MSX 21's hull configuration is the problem. I'm thinking of installing an in the hull (shoot thru) transducer to help fix this problem instead of the transom mount. I currently have an in dash flasher with an in the hull tranducer in the same rear bilge area. If I install another one nearby, will they mess each others signal up or pickup each others signal? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

If both Trabsducers work on the same frequency there is a chance of of them interfearing ... But most flashers if memory serves opetated on a off number cycle and you should not have an issue .... but if they are the same all you really need to do is power one unit off...

I looked at the web page and don't see anything about your Stratos hull that should be a problem for the transducer.* Chances are its just mounted too high on the transom and or too far off the centerline.* Make sure the "puck" is carving a groove down into solid water as the boat moves.*No air, no bubbles can be under the "puck" ever except for when the boat is on the trailer.

Well., I just tried my new lowrance with a skimmer with my garmin with a thru hull at the same time. Tied to the dock in shallow water. The garmin makes the lowrance lose bottom, but not vice versa.
