Prime cavitation area?

Post by saburke17 »

Having some issues with my new 3D axiom transducers. There installed about 6"aft of the bulkhead on either side of the keel. Any idea how bad this area is for cavitation while on plane?

I works OK on my older Furuno's. but they probably aren't as sensitive.

My Transducer is probably right about in the spot. I would say it may be about a foot back from the bulkhead offset to the starboard side of the keel line. Works perfectly at 25 knots. I am running a 20 degree flush mount transducer.

Locating the transducer in companion way area seems to be the sweet spot on these boats. It is forward of the intakes so you should have clean water in front of the transducer so there should be minimal turbulance.
