Select 2-3 locations considering the four points mentioned below.
Decide the most suitable site from the locations selected with the following proce-
dures.

• Mount the transducer at a location 1/2 to 1/3 of the length of your boat from the
stern.
• The mounting location is between 15 to 50 cm from the centerline of the hull.
• Do not place the transducer over hull struts or ribs which run under the hull.
• Avoid a location where the rising angle of the hull exceeds 15°, to minimize the
effect of the boat's rolling.
