Default Re: Transducer mount, chines and step hull?.?.

First, the chines are the "flat" areas on the outside edges of the bottom of the hull...coming down the sides of the boat from the gunwales, the chines are where the hull first turns under the boat....the steps are under the hull and run from the bow to the transom... ;) :D...

I mounted the transducer on the port side DIRECTLY behind the 2nd step from the keel(what the manuals say NOT to do)...mounted it one time, never adjusted and reads bottom/ depth at any speed, including WOT...The trick is FORGET about tryin' to line it up w/ bottom of hull, etc...I dropped mine as LOW as it would go into the water and it's not been a problem... ;D...
