Title: Transom mounting on a 2005 Stratus
Post by: Tooofunky86 on May 30, 2012, 09:42:13 AM

Hey everyone, needing some help pin-pointing the right spot. I recently bought a 2005 285 pro xl stratos. Upgrading the electronics and not exactly sure where on the transom to mount the transducer. If anyone has any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated!

I just installed a transducer on my Stratos 201XL Evolution, click on the attachment, the transducer does not work for high speed at about 30 plus it disappears, I use a thru hull transducer on a HB 728 for high speed runs.

I use the 1198 mostly for map program and at low speed for the SI and down imaging.  It works very well at 5 mph and no electrical interference. 

Doug Vahrenberg has a video of installing a transducer on a jack plate, I chose to go to the transom.

Here are some photos,now this is where humminbird says to mount it, I also do not have a jackplate. I havent gotten around to test it yet so im hopping someone with a stratos or better idea can tell me if its right or wrong.
