Transducer - left or right

[cloumar]

Hi,<br /><br />does anyone ever installed a transducer on the left side of the rear motor and does it work ?Because all fish finder companies are recommending to install it on the right side.<br /><br />Thanks <br /><br />Smoky

Re: Transducer - left or right

It is best to install on the right due to cavatation. You need to be sure it is 8 - 10 inches to the side of the prop for best results. <br /><br />If you did not learn any thing today, you should have stayed in bed. <br />
