Transducer mount, chines and step hull?.?.

[RobsTV]

Yep, dropped it down as low as it would go off back of step. Raised it, tilted it left/right. Angled it up/down (a little down helps).

End results after 3 test trips: (all tests on starboard side)

First test was between lowest step and keel.
No good above 11MPH, plus it shot water into prop causing ventilation/cavitation.

Second test was on lowest step.
Prop was now fine, but same as above, no good depth above 11 MPH.

Third test was between lowest step and next highest step.
Bingo!
Works perfect at all speeds!!!!
Even raised up or lowered down in that location and it still keeps working, although it works best all the way up (using template that came with transducer). Tilted a little down at back of transducer (or shooting a little forward).

Hope this helps the next guy.

I thought the hull raised up.
Thought Steplift meant at lower speed hull would rise to first step, and at higher speed hull would rise to second or lowest step. Steps would lift. Guess not. Like reelapeelin says, these aren't bass boats.
