Will all this talk about getting the transducer in the right spot. I received this email today from Lowrance tech support for my Elite-4 DSI combo unit. Sunday I will go out and tester out. Currently mounted with top of the transducer even with the bottom of the hull. Only two holes in the transom and one above waterline covered with a SS-clamshell.
Thank you for your inquiry.
The lower you can mount the transducer the better. When you mount it low there will be less interference with cavitation. If you mount it high there will be a greater amount of cavitation. The only con to mounting it low is if it is to low when you hit something it could damage the transducer.
