Mounting it inside the jackplate (like most ive seen) it's some what protected unlike how i have mine on the transom. With it mounted like this you will not be able to get images/returns due to the ducer being out of the water while running. If you want to show images while running you will have to mount it like a skimmer ducer on the bottom edge of the transom.

on that note...do these things get 'that great of images' at over 20mph?  What is the sweet spot in terms of boat speed?  what speed, for instance, are most of the internet images 'taken at'? 

I'm thinking I won't be mounting 'like my skimmer transducer' with this thing...as when I'll be using it, I'll rarely be over 5 mph (okay, perhaps 10)...

Not sure but have read where they were getting images at 35 mph. Just don't think they would be that great. I think the best is from 3-5 mph. The ones i posted are all at idle speed around 3 mph. That would be an expensive ducer to be replacing if you mount it like a skimmer and hit something below the water line at a fast speed.

Got mine couple of days ago.  Got to mount the ducer this weekend and will be done.

   Eight miles an hour on the HB units. It gets to congested faster than that. Too much turblance around the transducer.

seems I've heard most folks mounting these things 'up' a bit...to keep them from busting off...and if there are speed limits for efficacy...makes even more sense...

thanks bass1cpr
