Thread: Ulterra puck location?

I have mine mounted on the bow about a foot behind the TM when it's deployed and it's worked just fine. I've seen them mounted in all sorts of places from bow to stern. I'd guess that as long as it's mounted in the open and oriented correctly, it probably doesn't matter.

What Ulterra puck? If referring to the Heading Sensor for the new Bluetooth TMs, then might need to check for interference with TM deployed and running. If referring to a GPS receiver for the FF, in general as close to transducer as possible for accurate waypoints. IF a GPS with Heading then need to verify no interference.

It's the white round hockey puck size thing that came in the box with the Ulterra. I think it's an electronic compass.

That would be correct for the new Bluetooth TMs. Ok to place up near the TM as long as you check for any major interference with a compass or can use your cell phone compass if you have that. It is used primarily for the Jog function on the TM. This is where I placed mine for a Ultrex.

Don't think it matters where its located as long as its oriented parallel to the center line of the boat. I mounted mine by the console and have the arrow pointed to the front.
