[QUOTE="RivRunR, post: 249104, member: 1928"] It sure sounds like transducer location...it might be picking up turbulence/bubbles from the bottom of the boat, or from the prop, or it could be located too high and comes out of the water on plane. Check the mfg's instructions, be sure that it's not mounted directly behind any strakes or rivets on the bottom of the boat, and should be (generally) at least 15" or so from the prop. Also, if your prop turns clockwise, you'll get more turbulence on the port side, so locate the transducer to the starboard side (or visa versa on counter-clockwise). Pics of the transducer location would help... [/QUOTE]
