Each transducer should also:
• Be ahead of the propellers (by a minimum of 10%
of the water line length).
• Be at least 150 mm (6 in) away from the keel
(ideally ahead of the keel on a sailing yacht).
• Be as near as possible to the center line of the
vessel.
• Be clear of other through-hull fittings or projections.
• Have sufficient clearance inside the hull to fit the
nut.
• Have 100 mm (4 in) of headroom to allow for
withdrawal.
Note: In addition to the above requirements, the
depth transducer must be mounted within 10º of
the vertical.
