    Getting Transducer Parrallel

    Just curious why you say 1000kHz isn't doing me any favours?

    Interesting. Thanks for the info re mounting position. I don't know much about the implications of heave. Will have to do some more research. Why do you say the 1000hz is not helping? You said lower frequency = higher resolution but reduced depth? You mean higher frequencies right?

    Getting Transducer Parrallel

    Ok The transducer is a Garmin GT56-UHD. 3-in-one td with side imaging, 2d and chirp down imaging to 1000hz. Fishing mostly in 4-20m but up to 30-40m. Just want the clearest image possible and ability to use different sonar functions. Generally sounding at trolling speed and no real facility...

    Right. I have a sliding transducer mount too. Small adjustments to fore and aft angle are easy. But left to right (horizontal level) are relatively fixed. So pays to get it as close as possible. Its the horizontal level I'm struggling with.

    Re clear water. That is another concern as the chines are quite close together. There is just enough width in between to cover the width of the transducer. There is a wider gap but that is right at the widest point of the boat. Not sure if that is ideal, as most instructions suggest midway...

    Getting Transducer Parrallel

    Hey folks. Ok, maybe a dumb question, but how do you level the transducer horizontally, i.e. starboard to port (not vertically, I get how to do that) so it is perfectly parallel with the bottom. Obviously, I’m doing the install on dry land with boat on trailer. I know the driveway is not...

    Transducer installation query

    Hmmm... Not sure how this would work with my Garmin GT56 UHD transducer?

    Transducer installation query

    Thanks Texasmark: This is my first install and have to say that sounds a little complicated. Not 100% sure what you are describing. Building a flat bottom on the hull to the transom with epoxy? The boat is a 4.5m runabout with wooden floor. The rise is only a mm or 2. The thickness of the weld.

    Transducer installation query

    Can you elaborate please? I want to use all the features of the sounder to find structure and ultimately fish. Combination of 2d sonar, Down Scan up to 1000khz and side imaging. Have a lot of learning and experimenting to do, but just want to get the installation right first.

    Transducer installation query

    Hey folks. I am doing my first transducer install on my 4.5m Aluminium Brooker runabout and need a little advice please. I’m aware I need to choose a flat, unobstructed point on the transom to mount. Avoiding chines, welds and hardware etc, to ensure unobstructed water across the transducer. The...
