[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 407616, member: 12925"] I am getting ready to buy a new one and I'm mounting the transducer on the transom. Some guys mount them an inch or so above the bottom of the transom. You don't get good on plane readings but lessen the chance of breaking it off. I had one several years ago and busted 3 of them with it level with the bottom. If you mount it flush make sure you secure the cord somewhere on the transom. I had one that hit a stump while on plane, just grazed the hull. The transducer came flying in an arc over the transom and hit about a foot behind my seat. If it hadn't been strapped down to the top of the transom, it could have made a very bad day. [/QUOTE]
