Here is the situation:
I had a local Boat Yard install a B164/ 20deg. on my 2310 Parker DV. Its connected to a Furuno 587.
The unit completely looses the bottom when traveling above 12 mph. I could only attribute this to air bubbles/disturbed water passing over the transducer face. There is a chine several feet forward of the transducer 3 ft. or so. The yard didn't think this would be a problem.
I am attaching several Pics of the install.
I would like ANYONE who has done a Successful Installation of this type of 1KW transducer on a 21 deg Deep Vee to share the mounting location.
My cruise speed is 24-25 mph. Please advise and comment with your experiences.
-I want to correct the situation which will require another haul out, and more costly work - but I want a successful outcome.
Thanks
Billy
