Posted By: Scott Widmier, Mac26D, Kennesaw, GA Date: 5/1/09 3:01p.m. Report: outside forum guidelines In Response To: Transducer Location (Newell, 96X, 89D) There can't be any air volume between the transducer and the water. This can include any air pockets that might be in the laminations of your hull btw. You can use the beeswax to build up a flat mounting surface on the bottom then put the floor in the lazarette over....keeps things from bumping into the transducer.
