• Choose a location where the transducer will always be covered by
water.
• The beam from the transducer should not be blocked by a keel or
prop shaft.
• Choose a location where you can easily reach the transducer from
inside the vessel. This will allow you to make adjustments and
periodic inspections. Allow at least 6" (152 mm) of headroom above
the transducer.
• The “deadrise” is the angle or slope of the bottom of the hull in the
side-to-side direction. Try to find a mounting location with the smallest
deadrise angle.
