[CA] CPT-200 Transducer Installation

[chartertom]

This reply is being provided to show the results after installing the CP-200 along the centerline of my boat. As shown in the installation image, a “stand-off” spacer was added to allow for a center-line installation and access to the bilge drain plug. The goal of this installation was to maintain both transducer elements at the edge of the transom. As shown in the MFD image, this configuration does maintain a relatively useful return at a speed of 25 knots.

The image showing a lot of water being thrown up the motor mount which is approximately four feet aft and three feet above the transducer is not desirable. This condition occurs when getting up to planning speed. I will experiment with raising the transducer such that the leading edge is just above the bottom of the boat and tilting the rear of the transducer upward.
