Establishing a Performance Baseline
The results of this test are used to determine the best in-hull location
for a transducer.
1. Take the boat to the maximum depth for which your instrument is
rated, or the maximum depth in which you will operate the fish-

2. Connect the transducer to the fishfinder. Refer to Transducer
