I'll test it this weekend in the same position macojoe and most others use, and will post results. Sounds like it should be fine there.

No problem. Thought it was a typo. Would have been great if it worked that high.

If it worked that high, it could be placed lower, between the steps on the angled portion of hull, and it would perform even better because step would not be disturbing the water flow.

I am guessing the hull rides on the steps at various speeds, so when wide open, only lower step remains fully in the water?

These V-20s aren't bass-boats ;) ...haven't looked w/ that particularly in mind, but my bet is the entire transom's in the water, chine to chine ;) :D :D ...

Saturday tests results were not good with transducer on lowest starboard step. Below 12MPH, bottom would correctly show 6' to 11' but above that speed and it would start to jump up to 800' or more, even though still in 6' to 11' of water. Raised, lowered, adjusted tilt, angle, internal settings, still not good.

Will move between first and second steps and test that today.

Here is where mine is mounted, at this position it works great at all the speeds I've achieved. Bill Mc ;D
