Close the retaining cover. On the back of pontoon tubes are brackets that are an excellent location for transducers to stay near the monitor.
The other resolution comes from the transducer and measures how small a detail the sonar can make out.
Where is the best place to place tripleshot transducer. The front of the ducer should be below the hull. If you have a V-hull get the outside edge an 18th below. Use a straight edge on the hull to set that.
The rear of the ducer should be lower then the front. Tripleshot has a long ducer so go 14 lower. Transducer Distance between keel or chine - Your high speed transducer when using the SternMate system is best located with exceptions from the keel to no greater than 70 outboard either port or starboard of the keel.
While making a steep bank generally will. To find the best place to put it you can use one of three methods. Flood the Bilge area.
Put the Transducer into the bag and fill it with water. Use a water based lubricant to temporarily stick the Transducer in place Pod. Pod Transducers are designed to be fitted on Trolling motors they attach via a large clamp assembly to the motor housing.
It is important that enough free cable is left at the top of the motor to. The transom step is forward of it. All you get is cavitation in that location.
It needs to be near where the livewell intake is and the transducer itself needs to be partially BELOW the bottom of the hull. It took until the 2012 year model Trackers to finally install a transom transducer so it can work properly. Mount the transducer as close to the center of the boat as possible.
Do not mount the transducer behind strakes struts fittings water intake or discharge ports or anything that creates air bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent. If he keeps it on the lower step he cannot move it off center because the lower step starts to angle towards the transom and then the transducer will be cockeyed not parallel with the transom. My suggestion is to move it to the higher step it is only about 2 higher and move it more off center so it is at least 35 away from the prop and level.
Be sure and mount the bracket as close to bottom as possible. Toons make lots of bubbles and disturbed water and transducer needs clean water to work right. Anglersunite See fish structure and the bottom with greater clarity right out of the box which delivers the best views of individual fish targets even when targets are close to the bottom or suspended in tight schools.
Click the link below where we break down all Sonar and Transducer basics. I dont WANT to have a dedicated 2d transducer and dont see that as an upgrade Im only looking at it as a workaround for a problem that really shouldnt exist in the first place. If theyd been up-front about the capabilities and limitations of the tripleshot transducer in the first place I probably wouldt be here.
The scan transducer needs to be lower to have clear lines to the sides. Mine works well even on plane and at higher speed. Waow thats very close to each other.
The device also includes a single transducer which can be attached to multiple locations such as the hull the trolling motor or the scupper hole. So select the one that best suits your needs. To help better cater to the beginners the manufacturers have included features such as an auto-tuning sonar system this makes sure to tune in the sonar settings according to the environment youre working in.
You can install your transducer under the pontoon in a location thats close to your console. On the back of pontoon tubes are brackets that are an excellent location for transducers to stay near the monitor. Youll be able to drill holes into the bracket and use those to connect the washer nut and bolt that will hold your transducer in place.

The steps on the underside of the hull create a lot of aeration. For a transducer to work it must be mounted just in front of the first step before the source of aeration. A transom mount transducer should never be installed on a stepped hull.
With transducers mounted on the stern of a boat which is not an uncommon place to mount them sometimes the bubbles from the boats propeller can cause poor readings. Since youve tried it and dont have any problems no reason to worry about it. For a screen the size of most fish finders you dont need 1080p or anything close.
Often 640480 will be enough. However screen resolution is one place where more is better. The other resolution comes from the transducer and measures how small a detail the sonar can make out.
This helps for spotting small structures drop-offs and fish of course. DETERMINE THE TRANSDUCER MOUNTING ANGLE. The general rule of thumb is to mount the transducer to the starboard side which is the down stroke of most single outboard boat propellers right hand lower unit.
This side produces the least amount of turbulence and is most efficient in delivering the best performance. Then insert the transducers pivot posts into the slots on the top the bracket. With posts in position push down on the transducer to click the posts in place.
Rotate the transducer downward until it snaps into the bracket. Close the retaining cover. Install the paddle-wheel speed sensor if you have one.
Getting sick of transducer issues. Let me start by saying Ive been a lowrance user for years. Ive never had a transducer issue until last year.
I got a different boat and installed a 334C on it. Im now on my 3rd transducer since March of 08 and this one is going too. Transducers like the Lowrance TripleShot will mount through the bottom of the transducer guard and to the post on the inside of the Guardian plate.
