The transducer cannot send a signal without being fully submerged beneath the water. The second the sensor hits air, the signals fail to travel in the direction necessary to produce a picture on the fish finder screen. Furthermore, the water traveling across the sensor surface must remain smooth, not bubbly or choppy.
Installing the transducer sensor in line with the bottom of the hull ensures the device remains submerged in relatively calm waters. The transducer should not sit in line with the tracking beam at the bottom of the boat to prevent disruptions to the steering trajectory. When installing the transducer, it's important to keep the bottom edge level on a horizontal plane to perfectly align the device.
