raymarine 120 wide

Post by saltshaker28 »

Just had a raymarine 120 wide installed in my 28 te I love the unit but the only problem is that when I run the boat up to 3000 rpm I loose the dsm that controls the fish finder depth recorder my transducer is located on the port side of the boat 6 inches from the center line and in line with the oil dipstick has anyone had this problem and does anyone have a location for their transducer that works well need some help

I don't have that model. I have the Lowrance 113HD. My transducer is just about the same place as yours. I lose the bottom at around 18-19 knots. It picks up again if I go faster or slower.
I left the original one installed with the boat. (small Auto Helm digital unit) That one always shows depth as low as 2.5. Any lower than that I'm not going anywhere. :)

Check out the attached thread below "transducer location".

I just installed a new sounder & ducer. My old ducer was located outboard of the port stringer next to the engine and always dropped out at speed. The new install is forward of the engine & transmission 9 inches port of the center line and after a 400 nm trip she didn't drop out even once. Thanks to RobS for his pictures and all those that shared in the following thread ;
