yup me to ,i've adjusted the angle so the back of the transducer is tilted slightly up/and down (to allow for the transom motor weight originally from level)and still lose the reading after a bit of speed ,lifting up or down has no effect its 2 1/2 inches in from the outside strake .the length might be a reason for the finicky readings .friend has just bought the new garmin 95 and its transducer is even longer
