Transom Transducer Installation Overview - Humminbird PiranhaMAX 197c Installation And Operation Manual

Transom Transducer Installation Overview

The transom mount installation provides the least loss of signal since the
transducer is mounted outside the hull. This installation also allows adjustment
of both running angle and depth after the transducer is mounted, which
enables you to tune the installation for best results.
NOTE: Due to the wide variety of hulls, only general instructions are presented in
this installation guide. Each boat hull represents a unique set of requirements that
should be evaluated prior to installation. It is important to read the instructions
completely and understand the mounting guidelines before beginning installation.
NOTE: When drilling holes in fiberglass hulls, it is best to start with a smaller bit and use
progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating.
NOTE: If you cannot find a transom mount location that will work for your boat hull, a
different mounting technique or transducer type should be considered. See the FAQ
