    Default Transom mount transducer - mounting angle and height - humminbird 597ci hd di


    Just finished this install today. Have read a lot about placement of the transducer and height. Was able to get the transducer about 18" away from the prop and about 6" away from the closest rib. Installed a piece of composite board so if I need to move it I won't sweat adding more holes.
    Hope this will work well. Might not get to test before my next fishing trip.
    Any thoughts or opinions on this? Think I'm good?

    What type of composite material is that, where did you get it at and how thick was it? I just installed an new transducer on my aluminum boat and went yesterday and there was a little water in back near plug (usually bone dry). So i dont know if it is from the new ducer or water that splashed out of my bait tank last week and still in boat.

    It is composite decking board. I painted it to blend in with the boat a little.

    Good job if you put the sealer on screws before you put it on the boat the water is probably left over.
