Ú Note: Vessels with strakes or ribs on the hull can create large amounts of turbulence at higher speeds. A good transducer location on these types of boats is between the ribs closest to the engine. Ú Note: If the transducer is not placed in a smooth flow of water, interference caused by bubbles and turbulence may show onscreen in the form of random lines or dots. The unit could also lose bottom signal when the boat is on plane. Ú Note: Trim tabs vary in the amount of turbulence they create as they are adjusted, stay clear of these.
