Broken transducer bracket a second time.

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Brian,

Should too much force be exerted to the transducer, then the bracket may fail in the manner which you have reported. Such forces may not only be generated as a result of the transducer striking an object in the water, but also from excessive hydrodynamic force on the transducer, someone steeping on the transducer, striking at trailer bunk/roller, a transom tie down drawn across the transducer, etc. In order to ensure that the problem has not resulted from an incorrect installation, please position the transducer as best as is permissible in its original position and then take digital photos of the transom and the transducer which would indicate the transducer's position relative to the hull's bottom forward of the transducer. After doing so, attach these photos to a response to this post.
