Van, Take my word...its a thing of beauty. SAY GOODBYE TO SURFACE CLUTTER AND ANY ADJUSTMENT WHATSOEVER FOREVER. I have had my unit for two seasons now. Wait till you turn it on! If you see a mark...its a fish. You get no junk readings.

Hint: When I had twin engines I had the transducer mounted between the two slightly off the keel. I had solid readings to about 40 knots. When I had a single, I had to move the transducer off to the side. Someone else positioned it too far outboard and I would loose a signal at speeds over 20. I just moved it yesterday, (again) closer to the keel but far enough away from the engine. If I were you I want that as close to the keel as possible.

Catchem' up buddy!

Sandman:

How close is too close to the engine?

I was going to place it right where the old ducer was.

But maybe I should move it closer.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

Van,
If the old one worked good in that spot, I would keep it in the same spot. If you lost the signal from time to time while maneuvering or at speeds I would move it deeper and closer to the CL of the boat if you can.
