[QUOTE="huffranger, post: 22935, member: 305"] Any turbulence will affect your skimmer's ability to do its job. Mount location cannot line up with rivets or ribs in the hull. My skimmer reads depth at 60 + MPH its all about a smooth transition from the hull to the reading surface of the transducer. It is critical that the flat surface of the transducer that the crystal sends its signal through has to ( COUPLE ) with the surface of the water. Also when looking at the transom from the rear of the boat you are better off mounting transducers on the RIGHT side of the prop to minimize the turbulence from the prop rotation. It is very worth your time to research what degree cone your transducer has to better understand what size your cone area is at different depths. Korey Sprengal searches for fish at 35MPH with his 2D sonar for what its worth. [/QUOTE]
