Then remember how much the bubble is off and level the boat at home back to that spot to set the transducer thats what I do and it works great.
Being you know yours does not work as good to the left side. Adjust it where the transducer is higher on that side. That or if you have it mounted on the right side of the boat. Tilt the motor up and watch the unit. (You will see it clear up if the lower units is blocking the signal). As it can block part of the signal also.
As for the mounting bracket. Never seen any issues with mine not being built heavy enough? Not sure on that one, do you have it mounted the way the directions show? I have never had mine flip up in almost 4 years of use.

It takes time to get it set right but well work the effort of setting them up right. Enjoy and watch out for those shots that show a whole school of Crappie. They sure make it nice in winter time fishing.

Thanks for the tips Pete. I probably didn't have the screws tight enough yesterday cause it didnt do it today. I went out there this morning and done some looking and upon closer inspection, the transom on my boat appears to be angled toward the center of the boat and down under the boat if this make sense. It appeared to be shading the transducer. I added a shim under the inside of the transducer mount and this cleared it up quite a bit. Will post pics in a minute if I get it figured out. fixin to look at my SD card and try to upload em.

Thanks again
