    Transducer

    Hi all, I'm trying to install a helix 7 si g2n transducer and high speed transducer on the back of my 2000 stratos 20 ss. I'm having trouble following the directions and don't find many decent videos on how to properly attache to the back of my boat. I took off my old lowrance strucure scan and high speed transducer. Im not sure if those spots where the best.... I need help guys! The picture shows where the structure scan was and the high speed transducer was to the right about 6 inches away

    The SI transducer just has to be in the water when going about 5 mph and under. It will be out of the water while on plane. I'm not sure about the high speed transducer as I just have a thru hull transducer as my depth finder while on plane hooked up to my old dash graph.

    It just needs to be under water while scanning at slow speeds. You will need to adjust it so that it is level while going 3 or 4 mph is that is the speed you choose to scan. There are some good YouTube videos of how to determine the angle it needs to be.
