[CA11] RV-100 Placement on Fish/Ski Transom

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Ranger Reata,

Not all hulls are well suited for use of transom mounted transducers and to then expect them to perform at planing speeds. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing this subject. In this case, I would recommend that location #3 be used to mount the transducer and that a 50kHz / 200kHz in-hull (most commonly used) or low profile thru-hull transducer be installed per the referenced FAQ. The latter transducer would support bottom/depth tracking when operating on plane and the RealVision transducer would support fishfinding sonar features at trolling speeds.
