Warnings and cautions

Important: Before proceeding, ensure that you have read and understood the warnings and
cautions provided in the

Location requirements

The guidelines below should be followed when selecting a location for the transducer.
Note:
The transducer is not suitable for mounting on vessels where the transom is aft of the propeller(s).
For best performance the transducer must be installed in a location with the least turbulence and
aeration. The most effective way to determine this is by checking the water flow around the transom
whilst underway.
• Mount close to the keel (centerline), in a position where the transducer element will be fully
submerged when the vessel is planing and turning.
• Mount a suitable distance from the propeller(s) to avoid wake.
• Mount in a location where no load will be applied to the transducer during launching, lifting,
trailering and storage of the boat.
• For clockwise rotating propellers, mount the transducer on the starboard side, for
counter-clockwise, mount on the port side.
• On a twin engine vessel mount the transducer between the engines.
• Turbulence can be caused by a number of other factors such as steps (1), ribs (2), rows of rivets (3)
and strakes (4). The turbulence appears aft of these locations.
