    Honestly, you may be happier installing a high speed transducer (about $60) with an a-b ducer switch (about $20, as I recall), which is what I did. However, my top end is about 56, and I was losing bottom lock with just the SI at about 20-25.

    I have one that works at about 32 mph It has to be in the water without air bubbles. Keep working with it. The Si works best from 3 to 6 mph.

    Got mine at Cabelas. You must be looking at a different ducer; you only need the simple one to get a bottom lock.

    I have a Ranger with a step hull and my 997 will work at 35mph to 45mph Almost all the time. And some times at 50mph. Boat want go faster than 50mph.
