[CA] RV Transducer(s) placement help

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Scott,

The Grady White 282 Sailfish has a deadrise of 20.5". Accordingly, RV transducer pair would typically be recommended for this application. The problem is that there is no way to absolutely predict whether pickups and discharge through hulls will cause an aerated flow of water across the face of the transducers which are located anywhere other than alongside or forward of the through-hulls. I would recommend that you consider moving the head's through-hull aft and additionally consider filling the transducer pockets should doing so reduce the chances of having an aerated flow of water flow across the face of the transducers. It would be recommended that the RV transducers be located adjacent to or forward of the engine water pick-up through-hulls.
