Default 2011 Fountain 38 CC

Just traded 2006 Fountain 33' SFC for a slightly used 2011 38 CC. Boat is awesome - waiting for warmer weather in Northeast !
One question - just wondering if anyone has found a way to get fishfunder to read above 20mph. Transducer is a thru-hull installed forward from the first step.

The boat has a full Garmin network, GPS, etc. Some boat makers like Contender and Yellowfin say that they get full sonar readings up 50+ mph. It just may be that the transducer placement on the hull is at point (closer to stern) where it stays in water even when the boat is on full plane.

I had to put a transom mount on the back of my Marlago at the rear margin of the pad keel to get good continuous readings.
