river1boy Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Ranger x20 with transom mounted transducer loses readings at 10 mph. I have my ideas that the transducer is mounted in the wrong place. Any suggestions. Already ran aground once due to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverFox Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Inside the hull transducer is the way to go in my opinion if it's an option. I have the split with the SI/DI on the jack plate and a thru hull 2D on the Skeeter. I can read depths at 65 MPH. It still doesn't make up for having a good mapping system to know where humps and low water spots are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldavid Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 whats happening is when your boat comes up on plane the transducer is coming out of the water, either you are going to have to relocate your transducer even lower or put it inside the hull. most transducers work thru hull just stick it down with vasaline be sure to get all the air bubbles out by twisting as you press in place and it should work. all but the si transducers will work this way. hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerBee Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 What unit do you have? Humminbird or Lowrance...If a Humminbird, You should be able to run a splitter /y cable...one to the transom td and one to a td epoxyed into the bottom of you boat...your 2ds readings will automatically come from the inside the hull td...side or down imaging from transom td...hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
