Installing 3d chirp Raymarine transduceres on Leopard 44

[capn_billl]

I have an Axium with 3d chirp tehnology, and would like to install the transducer for it.

I see lots of options including transducer pairs.

I have the older down 3 way Xducer in Port hull, and will install the 3d in the starboard hull.

What is the best placement, and which xducer?

I see several with different deadrise, and have no idea what the deadrise will be where I end up putting it.

Your boat has mini keels so I believe the xducer should be mounted in front of the keel. Or, simply mirror the placement of the existing one. Put it on the centreline of the hull for zero deadrise. If you have solid glass you can mount it on the inside hull surface, but if you are cored then you will likely need to cut two holes.

Thanks for the info.

This is what I needed.
