transducer mount

[newblade]

Where is the best place to mount the transducer on the back of the boat. Mine will not operate over 10mph for some reason. I will try to post a pic tomorrow of mine, please post a pic of yours, pictures can show me better than words.

Do you have an alum. boat or fiberglass?

[newblade]

Fiberglass and it is mounted on the back

All I know is it needs to be on the lowest step of the hull, if you have more than one, and to place them away from any thing that could cause turbulence.( As in any rakes in the hull.) Wish I could help more.

Does anyone see the problem?

You are probably loosing bottom lock after you get up much speed caused by turbulence from the step. The last boat I had (Bonito bass boat) had a step like that and I had to put the xducer at the very bottom.

Are you saying down a little and to the right, still on the gray surface?

Glue it in the hull. No problems with steps.

No, I'm saying clear down on the step. It looks like you have a pretty good size motor so keep in mind at high speed the only thing in the water is the step. Check this out and the paragraph that refers to figure 4. http://www.humminbird.com/images/sup...XHS_9_20_T.pdf Even if you don't have a Humminbird the xducer location is pretty much the same for all units.

By looking at the pics, when your running on pad, the ducer is out of the water. Like said above, you may have to move it to the "step" /gray area. The best would be to expoy it inside the bilge area. That way no worries about it getting knocked around or breaking off.
