It seems I am not the only owner with the problem of the transducer mount that kicks up if the boat is driven over somewhere around 35 mph. On the advice of a Humminbird technician I installed the center screw, but then the mount broke. I replaced it with the same type of mount. I believe it needs moved up or to another location. The mount can also be replaced by a solid metal mount, but then you lose the breakaway safety feature. I also should add that I have a 200 horsepower motor and the boat easily tops out in the 50 mph plus range. I am not a fan of drilling holes in my fairly new boat to experiment with location. I have seen where other owners have used a sacrificial composite plate for this reason, but you are still drilling holes to mount the plate. As to location, how far can the transducer be moved up or to the left or right before it causes problems with your sonar signal, down view or side scan? Picture of my setup attached.
