Shoot-Thru Hull - Lowrance Transducer Installation Manual

Shoot-thru hull

In a shoot-thru-hull installation the transducer is
epoxied to the inside of the boat hull. A transducer
can not shoot through wood or metal hulls.
Before attempting any installation on boats with
flotation material within the hull, consult the boat
manufacturer.
For shoot-thru-hull applications, many boat hulls have a flat keel pad that offers a good transducer
mounting surface. Make sure the Skimmer transducer is oriented so the nose of the transducer is facing
the bow (front) of
the boat.
NOTE: Downscan imaging performance may be degraded if HDI transducers are installed using
the shoot-thru hull method.
Before you epoxy the transducer to the hull, make sure
the area is clean, dry and free of oil or grease.
The surface of the hull must be flat so the entire
transducer face is in contact with the hull. Also, make
sure the cable is long enough to reach the sonar unit.
Be careful! The transducer will be extremely difficult to remove once the epoxy is set.
