| As far as transducer goes you want it parallel to the surface (left to right as well as front to back) and a clear view of the side of the transducer from left and right (at 90*, NOT 80 or 100*) you will be good to go.
Other things can make echoes like a jack plate that doesn't have a bottom, a stepped transom that your not clearly around or the motor being in the way, all will leave signs something is not correct.
The people who have the best screen shots get there boat loaded to there "normal" load including passengers, and find out how many degrees the bow is up,( stack of pennies and a bullet level on the gunnel in one specific spot, then later use the jack to duplicate the "level spot" and then mount the front to back level to earth) same can be done left to right for the listing that may be happening. This is the same process for the dash unit at say 4 mph "normal seating configuration " or say slow speed casting make sure the person who may be with you isn't looking over your shoulder and he is where he fishes from. | |
