Default Re: Transducer placement location 20cc?

Thanks Loyd...
I spent the day remounting it, tried to mount in the aft bilge under the false transom but it is so difficult to work in with only the small round screw plate in the stern/engine well.

So, I cut a hole in the bottom of the rear bait well and mounted a 6" screew plate cover there. I then mounted the transducer to the bottom. Its probably about 2 1/2 feet in from the transom and centered. I used a small plastic peanut butter jar, cut down to be about 3" high and sealed it to the hull with lifecaulk. I just fill the plastice peanut butter jar section with water and drop the transducer in , screw the cover back on and it works great. This also leaves the transom clean.

I had originally tried it just about where yours is mounted, but it just kept getting too much disturbance from bubbles at anything above about 4 knots. I see you have a tail, I don't so maybe that makes a difference..

Thanks for the pic and suggestions! Great forum!
Aloha
