You can mount the transducer anywhere on the side of the boat if your boat remains stationary. If
you are trolling, it is best to mount the transducer on the transom of the boat.
On fiberglass boats it is possible to place the transducer inside the hull of the boat in a pool of
water. The sonar signal can pass through the hull of the boat with little signal loss.
For ice fishing, Humminbird makes a special bracket to position the transducer at the right height
and angle in the water.

If you are using the suction cup transducer on a moving boat, it is best to secure the transducer
cable in case of accidental release. A loose transducer can cause damage to itself, your boat, or
become entangled in the propeller. Attach the tie-down strap to the transducer cable and loop the
cable around an immovable object such as a rail or fitting as shown in the illustration.
