transducer. how close to outdrive

[snowman51789]

Ok it nay be to late to ask this however, yesterday I mounted my transducer for my elite 4 gps/sonar about 15 inches from the center of thr transom on the right side. My qustion is do you guys think it will work? I can't test it for another 3 days, when I did it I figured it would be fine but now my stomach is turning.

Thanks

Dave

Try to relax . . . did you follow any mounting instructions?

I'm guessing that 15 inches would be fine . . . you do not want the transducer directly behind a strake or other hull feature that causes turbulence.

I followed the instructions as best as I could. The problem was my speedo pick up was in the worse spot, I had to go to the insde of it because I had to save room for trim tabs that I'm installing next on the out side, and I had to move the transducer even closer because to the drive to clear thr trailer bunk

Re: transducer. how close to outdrive

15" is darn close to spec and mounting it on the right side is correct. I have structure scan and a standard dual freq transducer. Structure scan is on the right side but the standard is on the left. It's usable but noisy with the main motor running. It's excellent when I run the bow mount trolling motor.
