    Depending on how heavy and how fast your boat is ...

    There is a distinct possibility that only a 12" triangle of your hull pad is in the water at plane speed ...

    Would any adjustment to your present mount location put that xducer actually in the water within that 12" triangle of water contact ...??

    Hopefully these pics turned out better. What do you think about the position? Does it need to come up more?

    The blue line is the water line when your boat is up on plane ...

    This means every time you hit a wave or turn left - your xducer is coming out of the water ...

    The xducer needs to move down toward the drain holes to stay in the water 100% of the time that your boat is dancing on the hull pad at high speed ...



    Or install a shoot thru XP 9 20 with the AS SIDB Y cable ...
