Location: Grand Rapids MN | Just to clarify I hope I wasn't implying these are the same as the 2D. Mounting it lower means it will clear motor mounting brackets and the motor itself with less trim required. But people say when they place it lower, and therefore more center and closer to the motor, that they get to much turbulance from the motor and their 2D does not work as well; therefore generally they add a second ducer for 2D use only in a much more 'prefered' location.
I would caution spacing the tranducer to far out from the hull. Unfortunately those trandsducers have plastic mounting brackets that seem to have questionable strength. I've seen many complaints of transducers falling off without taking any direct hits.
I think Esox was onto it and I missed the obvious based on your pic. If your motor wasn't trimmed out some that it would completely block the signal. Usually partially blocked signals look whited out or cloudy. |
