Caution : Do not mount the sensor in an area of turbulence or bubbles: near water
intake or discharge openings; behind strakes, fittings or hull irregularities; or behind
eroding paint (an indication of turbulence).
Caution : Never mount the sensor directly ahead of a depth transducer, since
turbulence generated by the paddlewheel’s rotation will adversely affect the
transducer’s performance, especially at high speeds.
