5. If you have the correct angle set on the transducer, yet lose a bottom reading at
high speed, adjust the height and the running angle in small increments to give
you the ideal transducer position for your boat. First, adjust the height in small
increments (see the illustration
Adjusting the Transducer Mounting Position
).
NOTE:
The deeper the transducer is in the water, the more likely that a rooster tail of spray
will be generated at high speeds, so make sure that the transducer is as high as it can be
and still be submerged in the water.
If you are still not getting good high speed readings, you may need to disassemble
the transducer mounting assembly and re-position the ratchets (see the illustrations
