Maybe its not even a problem.
Thanks...Bill
Right Bill,
it is indeed no problem. The transducer needs some play in its bracket in order to be able to kick up if it hits something in the water. So the the wiggle is nothing unusual. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS!!!
The transducer will be stable in the bracket when the waterpressure pushes it against its rear rest while driving. It will not be hindered in the performance.
This question is not new, a lot of people had wondered about it.
A different issue might be the rooster tail that might occur when on higher speed. This is caused by the gap between the transducer and the bracket. The water which passes through there is deflected by the upper part of the transducer housing and then pushed up. Might be annoying if the roostertail will reach into your boat or on your outboard. In that case, just call Humminbird support and ask for a rubber piece that will fit in the gap and close it. I heard that this rubber thing is already part of the mounting hardware, but I haven't seen it with my transducers.
Good luck and best regards / Harry
