Humminbird 859 transducer position
I just bought an 859 and put the transducer a 1/4 from the bottom of the boat per the directions and about 15" to the right of the motor. The problem is my 1998 Javelin has a step hull and creates a vortex, if you will, at the bottom of the boat. After I get up to 4 or 5 mph the sonar screens wash out and shows nothing. It's fine at idle and just a little above though. The step is only 2 inches tall at best and the mount itself is around 2 1/8". Any ideas on how to mount this to make it work properly? Thanks.
