Location: Kodiak, AK | And you say it's just started? If it's just started, and used to work where it's mounted now, then I'd check the security of your bracket. If they get loose or worn, as you pick up speed, the ducer will start to tilt backward from the water resistance. Then instead of pointing straight down in 10' of water, it's pointing backward a ways at an angle and it's 180' away before it hits bottom and bounced back.
Beyond that, you want to make sure your transducer is even in the water while on plane. Some guys mount their's too high up the chine incline and as the boat gets on plane the ducer is either entirely out of the water or in the turbulence and won't read correctly.
But if it had previously been reading corrctly, I'd assume that it's location is OK, but I'd check the mount and make sure it's tight and not worn in a way that would allow it to flex while you're running. |
