Installing the Log and depth transducers

2.3.1 Correct location of transducer

Generally the transducers should be placed as far forward as possible along the waterline length
and close to the centreline.
The depth transducer can be mounted on the opposite side from the speed transducer.
If the transducers are mounted on the center line of the boat, the depth transducer should be
mounted about 40cm in front of the speed transducer.
It is important that the transducers are always in the water, within the whole speed range of
the boat. Please note that the actual waterline length of fast power boats shortens considerably at
high speeds. Therefore the transducer should be placed at 25-35% along the true waterline from
the bow, when at full speed
