Super User Wayne P. Posted June 6, 2016 Super User Posted June 6, 2016 Which one of the six versions of Helix 7? What does your transom look like?? Did you read and understand the installation instructions? What is a vhaul?? Quote
Verno769 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Posted June 6, 2016 It's a di/GPS I tried using a picture off my phone and it's to big of my transon. When I get home I'll make it work. It's not flat bottom it's a vhaul but it has the usual transon. Yes I read and somewhat understand the directions Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted June 6, 2016 Super User Posted June 6, 2016 There is a V Hull or V-hull boat. Rounded bottom with a sharp V shaped front end???? There is probably strakes (ridges) on the bottom from forward to rearward that you do not want to have in the same line as the transducer. Just place the transducer away those strakes with the bottom of the transducer about 1/8" below the bottom of the transom so it gets a good water flow across it as you move forward. If you follow the installation instructions, you should not have any issues. The DI transducer installs just like a 2D transducer. This is a V Hull aluminum boat: Quote
Verno769 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Posted June 6, 2016 Yes thats what my boat looks like just wider. Im trying to upload a few pictures but there to big. my boat is a Alumacraft Lunker v16 thanks Quote
