The performance of the fish finder greatly
depends on the installation position of the trans-
ducer. See transducer’s instruction manual for
details.
Transducers are mainly divided into two types: the
transom type and the Thru Hull type.
Install the transducer in the following area.
q
Area where the possibility of on-screen voids due
to air bubbles or water turbulence is minimized;
w
Area that resists being exposed to noises from the
engine;
e
Area where the transducer is kept horizontal even
if the boat runs at high speed;
(
The optimum installation position of the transduc-
er is said to be at a distance of a half or one-third
of the boat length from the stern for low-speed
small boats, and close to the stern for high-speed
boats.)
