the jet wash in reverse is probably the cause during trailering or
docking right before you recheck. it could also be backwash from the
front of the jet unit. try moving it further away from the keel line,
at least 2 feet. could also be loose ratchet mount on the transducer
itself.

That was my thought also - most manfacuturers use 18" as a sort-of de
facto spec for props.

Couldn't say about jet wash, but now that I think about it, on bass
boats I've seen set up with jets, the transducers are located as far
away from the jet as you can get and still stay on the transom.

I'd like to see a picture of the installation.

Later,

Tom
