Thread: 998 losing depth on plane?

To me, it looks as if it needs to be about 3/4" lower. Having it so close behind the bottom ridge on the boat,(don't know the proper term for it) is affecting it. I would relocate it to where it was between the two runners, and lower it until the bottom of the mounting bracket was just above the bottom of the boat. It's designed to "kick up" should you bump anything. If you hit something while on plane, then you're probably going too fast for the area anyway. I really try to watch for any debris floating on the water as well. River fishing can be very hard on transducers. Remember, the transducer itself is meant to be down IN the water.
