Placement /Height of transom mount tranducer on Pacific.

Just bought the tm260 and been out twice and im losing bottom at high speeds over 10knt. I had it maybe an inch under the hull and than moved it about an 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch over. Do u guys like it even to the bottom or under a little. Looking for suggestion on what could help. Even pics would be great. I have it mounted on the bracket that was there from original purchase.
Thx Bob

I find having the transducer slightly lower in the rear helps it keep bottom at speed.

Some one has to have a pic......we've only talked about this same subject many times thru the years.
Then, re-hash it all whith newer members. Alloytoy posted a pic once I remember. As did I, but that was on a now, destroyed computer.

The HDS system has two transducers...the long one is sidescan and is not in the water at speed the other is noraml view down...it is just below the hull so it can be on while running at speed..it even works well at 29 knots, yet it does kick up some spray by the motor...but it is worth it to know the bottom.







BTW, the sidescan one was readjusted after the first use to have it right at the bottom edge of the hull..these pics shows it lower. Having them side by side does not appear to have any issues in use. Capt PJ
