[size 2]Good point, Lund man. Some transducers are really big. In fact, on my old 350A I had the dual-freq transducer and that sucker is the size of a big bertha driver head. It even kicked up a rooster tail at WOT.[/size]
[size 2]Another factor can be the motor height on the transom. You want as little of the motor's lower unit in the water to reduce drag--without cavitation or the prop blowing out. The 3rd hole up is the sweet spot on many motors. You'll also pick up top end.[/size]
[size 2]Oh, and don't forget to stow your electric motor. That makes a HUGE difference! [
