Hey guys. I picked up a helix 7 si gps chirp g2 unit, first time I have owned or installed a si unit. I googled for 3 days waiting for it to come in. Cables routed correctly. And then I mounted the si transducer just below the step on my transom and went and tested it. It looked amazing. Under 3mph. Anything over that and the depth and speed jumped around everywhere. So I moved the transducer even with the bottom of the hull instead of where the transom step was...... I just need some help guy. Fill me in the dos and donts. The link has images of the previous instal and my current install.
I know I can get a thru hull transducer and a y cable, but I don't want to do that. I should at least be able to get 10mph and correct depth and speed right?
The transom buckle will move out of the way. I don't think it will touch when loading anyways. The boat should be floating higher than that when I loss it right?
