Hi,
Question on SI transducer placement –
Do most of you place your transducer below the bottom of the boat?
I have an 898C SI on order and I was reading the “Transducer Breakage” thread here.
Got me thinking about transducer location, I currently have an old Lowrance unit that is mounted about 1” below the back and bottom of the boat – I have had this transducer kick up numerous times from hitting small objects floating in the water.
If I put the SI unit just even with the bottom of the boat I think it would still give a good signal, I could still use my old Lowrance unit like it is now and maybe avoid damage to my new SI ducer.
My boat is an 18’ aluminum Hewescraft semi-V, 150HP outboard jet, mostly used in rivers.
Just wanting some feedback on others SI transducer placement.
TIA
