Thread: Does this Transducer look like it's mounted correctly?

Got as far away from motor as I could, and away from the strakes. is the angle right?

Looks OK but there's really no way to know for sure till you are out on the water. You will need to have everything you normally carry as far as weight in the boat then see if the sonar is working good. You can then adjust it to get the best sonar pictures. I will be looking forward to seeing some of your sonar pictures of fish and structure you find. Good luck

Here is a youtube video of how to level a transducer also.

I'm no expert, but it looks like it is lower than the hull and could get knocked off easily. May someone like Ricky will pipe in. Or maybe Bill at BRM.

Basically, you want the transducer "seam" that makes up the top and bottom half's, horizontally aligned with the bottom of the boat.

Looks pretty good.....How does it work ?

Here is the installation diagram MrS refers to ...:

I'm pretty sure it's mounted correctly. Took it out for the first time today. Marked fish on brush, fallen trees, piers, etc. Only issue is the constant surface clutter showing up on the left side of SI. See pic. What is causing this? Seemed to go away when I sped up. It did this no matter what angle the motor was trimmed.

Mine would do the same at about the speed in your pic, if I scanned at 4.5-6 mph it went away.
Increase your speed more and see if that helps.

BTW, I had the surface clutter setting as low as it would go.

Surface Clutter only affects the 2d image ...
