You may have to get a different mount for your transducer. One that will "kick up" if it hits an interference. The transducer needs to sit below the bottom of the boat. When your boat is up on plane, hardly any of the back end is below the water surface. Transducer needs to be below water surface and NO AIR between bottom of transducer and water.

I ended up moving the Speedo pilot tube to the opposite side of motor, and installed Structure Scan transducer within a foot of the Sonar transducer, but also kept it a foot away from motor. Sonar was set low enough to work up on plane but SS transducer was set higher to protect it. Anyway it works Awesome!! View is fantastic! An Awesome upgrade from what was on the boat. Truly amazing!

I still want to get the SS Transducer set at level with the boat running 4mph by GPS but I have not took time to get it done yet :)

Thanks Guys for all your help and suggestions!
