To test the transom mount transducer installation:
1.  Begin testing the installation at a slow speed. If the sonar
appears to be working properly, gradually increase the
boat’s speed while observing the sonar’s operation. If the
sonar signal suddenly is lost or the bottom return is severely
degraded, note the speed at which this occurs.
2.  Return the boat to the speed at which the signal was lost.
Make moderate turns in both directions, and see if the signal
improves.
3.  If the signal strength improves while turning, adjust the
transducer so that it extends another 1/8" below the transom
of the boat. It might take several adjustments to eliminate the
degradation.
4.  If the signal does not improve, you might have to move the
transducer to a different location.
  NOTE: When adjusting the depth of the transducer, make the 
adjustments in small increments. Placing the transducer too 
deep can adversely affect the boat’s performance and put the 
transducer at greater risk of striking underwater objects.
