Humminbird 170 Fish Finder User Manual


 
If the transom is behind the propeller(s), it may be impossible to find an
area clear from turbulence, and a different mounting technique or
transducer type should be considered, such as an Inside the Hull
Transducer.
If you plan to trailer your boat, do not mountthe transducer too close to
trailer bunks or rollers to avoid moving or damaging the transducer
during loading and unloading of the boat.
If high speed operation is critical, you may want to consider using an
In-Hull transducer instead of this Transom Mount transducer.
NOTE: The hydrodynamic shape of your transducer allows it to point straight down
withoutdeadriseadjustment(Figure12).
