[quote BSF]I have a Humminbird transducer installed on the transom of my boat that works great for trolling, but if I go over 8 mph I loss my sonar signal because of air bubbles and the ducer riding higher in the water.
Apparently this is a common problem. One solution is to epoxy the transducer in the hull of the boat near the drain plug.
My boat is a deep-V aluminum boat, and there is not a good flat surface location in the hull to epoxy the ducer down.
Has anyone found a solution to mounting a transducer so the signal isn't lost at higher speeds? Or is there a boat place out there that is qualified or has experience in mounting transducers in the hull of a deep-V aluminum boat?[/quote]
Have you tried adjusting the angle of the ducer to match the plane/angle of the boat at speed?
