Pontoon motor depth. Ive tried it in the lowest. Bow mount shaft length. When transom mounting a transducer on a pontoon boat try to mount the transducer on the starboard side pontoon.
For an average 18 20 pontoon boat with a balanced load the draft will usually be between 16 and 24 draft down but with the motor trimmed up they can run as shallow as 10. For larger pontoon boats 20 24 with a balanced load the draft will be about 21 draft down and 12 draft up. Motor depth on 24ft pontoon.
There are reasons you may want to drive your pontoon boat into shallow water and its best to do so safely. Pontoon boat size and power requirements are growing as fast as the presence of these watercraft on waters all over the world. I just had it checked out and boat runs great.
A most common item that pontoon captains pair with a fish finder is a trolling motor. Lowrance HDS-9 Gen3 Insight. The 551dv is a dual frequency fishfinder that operates at 50200 kHz which means that its optimized for shallow and deeper waters.
