Location: Stevens Point, WI | These can be very touchy in how you place them. You want the bottom edge of the transom cutting halfway through the transducer. So half below the hull and half above. Now I know this isn't a aluminum hull, but you can see how the angle should be and how the bottom of the hull meets up with half the transducer. If the transducer is too far down, you'll get spray and the ducer will get knocked up. If it's to high you won't get a reading. You just have to keep playing with it. Are you sure you mounted in the correct area on your transom? Here is pic on how it should look. Make sure your angle is like it in the picture.

| It is a bit of trial and error on the Lunds. It's not easy, but tey to position the transducer between the rivets on the bottom of the hull. Hopefully, you have a board on the back so it's easy to make adjustments. Start with it a little more than half way below the transom, and you should get it to read. Also, I tip mine just a tad down in the back from perfectly straight. |

| fishguide,
Liek Shep mentioned you'll have to look at where the strakes and rivets are in relation to your transducer position. Any turbulance will cause your sonar to "lose" depth, in auto mode. The turbulance will get worse the faster you go and sounds very similar to your problem.
Good Luck.
