[QUOTE="Scott F, post: 447860, member: 23059"] 1-2 inches below the bottom of the hull is far too deep. The [b]bottom[/b] of the transducer should be 1/8 to 1/4 inch maximum below the bottom of the hull. Much deeper than that and you'll have tons of spray coming off of it. That, plus the pressure of the water hitting it will probably push it out of the water. Don't over tighten the bolt that holds the transducer itself. If you do hit something, you want it to swing out of the way and not break off. [img]https://i65.tinypic.com/2rzb0qb.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
