Title: New HELIX 9 CHIRP MEGA SI GPS G2N owner / transducer location suggestions
Post by: pdorman on May 17, 2018, 11:52:41 PM

Would like suggestions as to where to install the transducer, just purchased a 4 x12 transducer mounting plate to install also.  Thanks in advance. [attachimg=1]

The mounting board already on the transom would be a good start as long as there's no rib directly in front of the xducer  ...

I think the current one is a little close to the outboard. Here is the location of mine.

I currently have a SI HD transducer located in the show location. Connected to a Helix 9. I need to tilt the motor up a little but not out of the water.

I now a have a 360 mounted on the left side opposite the HD transducer.
