[QUOTE="russ010, post: 171384, member: 677"] same thing was happening to me with the rooster tail - not to mention how much water was actually coming in my boat. Chris at Sternmate made some really good points on the phone when I talked to him... the biggest thing I learned from him was that it really didn't matter where on the transom (left or right) that you mounted it, but it was actually how far away from the rear of the transom that allowed you to get the best signals. I watched my transom this weekend when going 20mph, and I saw what he was talking about. By moving the transducer further away from the transom (using a setback plate), it allowed a continuous flow of water under the transducer which resulted in the best signal I had ever seen on my finders.
