Author	Topic:   SONAR Transducer Location
Rupert Quijano	posted 10-06-2005 03:04 AM ET (US)         I have Furuno GPS/SOUNDER/FISH FINDER. Where is the best place to put its transducer on my 28-foot sport fishing w/forward cabin boat with twin 115-HP Yamaha outboard motors. I will appreciate it very much, if anyone gives me expert advice regarding this matter! Thanks a lot--Rupert

The manufacturer of the transducer usually supplies instructions for the precise mounting position in relationship to the hull bottom. If the boat is a deep V-hull, you may find it better to mount the transducer just slightly off center so that it does not operate in the flow right at the apex of the V-hull.
