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?
What unit do you have?
probally humminbird if hes getting rooster tail
i mounted mine on an alum block and made an alum shield on top:D
yep i have humminbird 565
Did you mount yours that low to try to get a high speed reading?
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
yeah fixing to move it alittle lower ,mine will read 25mph to 30mph now thoughQuote:

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
i have my on my boat now, it is rooster tailing pretty good, and reading good, so i moved it up, and doesn't read at 35mph , so i guess that i need to move it down alittle more
That looks pretty good there BB.Quote:

The way I did mine is on the bottom side of the motor mount there is aluminum deal held on with to bolts I think its for corrosion aint exactly sure. But I used an aluminum angle and bolted it to there and then bolt the TD to the other end. Heres a pic But since this pic I moved it outward 6in. to get away from the step in hull. No drilling boat at all.
