of the boat over the base of the transducer. The water should be "Clean"
with very little turbulence (air bubbles). If there are any air bubbles or
turbulence seen passing underneath the transducer, move the transducer
farther down on the transom bracket. If the performance does not
improve, move the transducer to "Clean Water" making sure to fill any
unused screw holes with marine sealant.

High Speed performance of the depth sounder may require
extensive adjustment and testing to find the best transducer
mounting location. This transducer has been tested to perform
up to 63 MPH in an In-Hull application. Not all boat hull
configurations will allow for this type of performance. If you are not
satisfied with the performance of the depth sounder, it is recommended
that you seek the advice of a professional marine electronics installer.
