Humminbird Transducer Installation

[BearLakeFishGuy]

I have my Humminbird ducer mounted on my Lund deep V and I cannot always get it to read at all speeds. If the water is calm it works fine, but if there is a chop and there are bubble going under the boat, then it cuts out intermittently. However, I did position the ducer about 1/4" below the bottom of the boat and this helped. I had to increase the tension it would need to "kick up" if it hit an object in the water since it was simply kicking up due to the drag since it was below the boat's bottom. Also, mounting it lower on the hull also causes it to create a little "rooster tail" spray, but I can live with that. The bottom line there is no sure-fire way to get them to read on a deep V at all speeds and all conditions. Mounting it inside the hull I would advise against. You definitely lose some of the sensitivity when it has to shoot thru the hull. Try it lower on the hull and see what happens. It really helped in my case.
