[QUOTE="airshot, post: 507123, member: 1183"] Each transducer design is different, so lots of experimenting is needed. I see you have a large weld bead at the transom edge to that will cause a disturbance. Just based on your pics, you might need to be deeper but closer to the transom then angled slightly with the rear slightly lower than the front. Each design offers a different challenge, especially on aluminum boats where ribs, rivets, and welds all cause interference. As mentioned get a mounting plate so no more holes thru your transom. In sever situations, I have had to use bondo ( auto body filler) to create a smooth surface on the bottom of the hull to allow the transducer to read. Honestly, if the spray is not comming into your boat and causing a problem....so what! [/QUOTE]
