[CA] CPT-200 Transducer Installation

[chartertom]

This thread is being written to obtain recommendations on installing the CPT-200 transducer on the transom with a 24 degree deadrise.

Installation instructions page 28, section 6.2, item two states to make sure the mounting template (transducer by inference) is parallel to the waterline. The diagram shows a transom with a 0 degree deadrise (flat hull).

With a 24 degree deadrise hull, either one of the two transmitters will be a significant distance below the hull's edge or one of the two transmitters will be a significant distance above hull's edge.

The transducer cannot be mounted along the hull's centerline due to negative consequences of draining hull directly onto the transducer.

Previous experience with transom mounted transducers is that when the transducers' leading edge protrudes below the hull's edge, the transducer is extremely susceptible to effect of water turbulence.

This being true, is there any recommendation for the location (distance above / below hull's edge) to minimize the effects of water turbulence?
