I bought a 1993 Sprint 255 from a buddy & he installed a Humminbird 525 depth finder. It doesn't read right. If your sitting still it reads right sometimes & all of a suddun it goes to reading 0.9 ft. When moving on plane it's right everytime. My??? is how do I measure dead rise so I can remount the transom style transducer to humminbird specs??? I saw on another post that if more or less or equal to 15* deadrise that you mount them different. Thanks

Re: Dead Rise

Correctly locating a place on the transom is relatively simple as outlined by the instructions furnished by the manufacturer of the equipment. Mounting the transducer and adjusting it to work at its optimum can cause sleepless nights.
