higher speeds (i.e getting to the survey location). If at all possible mounting the
transducer directly below the positioning antenna reduces the calculation of X/Y
offset to zero.

Avoid Stressing Transducers
The Active Transducers include piezoelectric elements which are embedded within a
resin compound. If the user has to fabricate a custom mounting for the transducer (a
very common requirement given the vast permutations of boats in which surveys are
performed) avoid using a fixing technique that causes physical stress in the transducer
body as this will change the resonant properties of the device and effect its depth
measuring accuracy.
