bass tracker transducer mounting question

[brad0828]

I have a 2001 bass tracker 175, and was wondering where is the best place to put the transducer on the back of my boat to avoid a rooster tail, and make it read at 35 mph?

Did you mount yours that low to try to get a high speed reading?

[blueball]

notice the black tape still on ,that was a tempory fix and works too,use to look like someone was peeing in my boat when i first installed transducerThumbs Up

Did you mount yours that low to try to get a high speed reading?

yeah fixing to move it alittle lower ,mine will read 25mph to 30mph now though

[mduncan62]

That's pretty good getting a reading at that speed.

most people dont mount them that low because of their price ,but mine been below pad for atleast a year and havent broke it yet
