Correct transducer placement

[Andy in NY]

I have a fishfinder, used it all last year, but always kicked up an aweful rooster tail. this year I have rebuilt carbs and a tune up on the motor and she runs alot faster than she did. On our first splash this year I ended up disconnecting the transducer for the day. Now I need to figure out the proper placement.

Where is a good starting point?

Re: Correct transducer placement

I had the same issue...

Now I have mine ~ 14" from the prop starboard side of transom. The bottom of the transducer is at the same level as the bottom of the hull (or slightly lower). The aft end of the transducer should be at a slight angle ~ 10-15 degrees... This is a good link.
