I have a couple of people ask me about my post were I talked about losing two 797 transducers. Below are the pics of my current placement and in pic 2 you can see the broken bracket of where the two were mounted that got broke off. If you read the instructions you will make the same mistake I did and put the transducer in harms way. I do think the original mounting location would have worked on a boat with a top speed of say 50 mph or less but running 68 is not good on the transducer. The new location has the transducer out of the water while the boat is on plane so there is no risk of it breaking off.
