I have my SI transducer mounted about a foot away from my motor as low as it can go on the main part of the hull. Is there a better place to mount the ducer? I seem to lose SI a little over 3 mph. Feel free to PM or I can provide me email for pics.

Thank you,
Kyle

Sounds like you have a disruption in the water coming to the transducer, so that at 3+ mph, it is creating air bubbles under the transducer and cutting the signal. review the location and height.

Also consider a y-cable and high speed transducer to the system to make sure you maintain 2D sonar and depth at high-speed.
