  • Page 36: Transducer

    4. INSTALLATION Transducer The performance of the echo sounder depends upon the transducer position. A place least affect- ed by air bubbles should be selected since turbulence blocks the sounding path. Further, select a place least influenced by engine noise. It is known that air bubbles are fewest at the place where the bow first falls and the next wave rises, at usual cruising speed.
