With all the knowledge here I am hoping to resolve an issue as to where to mount a transom transducer. The boat is 17' blazer aluminum flat bottom powered by 40hp merc jet outboard. The transducer is the total scan running a Lowrance elite 7TI. In the past my boats have been propped and the rule of thumb is mount the transducer level or slightly below the bottom of the hull. I can see if if do that I may be replacing broken transducers, and at 300.00 a pop this could get expensive. The dealer where I bought the boat recommends mounting the transducer 1" above the bottom to keep from damaging. Not sure how well the unit can read at that height. So my question is.........how are you all mounting your transom mount transducer.......at what height from the bottom? Thanks.
