- Page 14 NSIDE THE NSTALLATION In-hull mounting generally produces good results in single thickness, fiberglass-hulled boats. Humminbird cannot guarantee depth performance when transmitting and receiving through the hull of the boat, since some signal loss occurs. The amount of loss depends on hull construction and thickness, as well as the installation position and process.
- Page 15 Determine the Transducer Mounting Location Areas of Possible Turbulence Decide where to install the transducer on the inside of the hull. Consider the following to find the best location: • Observe the outside of the boat hull to find the areas that are mostly free from turbulent water.
