Installation Procedure

1. With the boat hauled out of the water, mark the location selected for mounting the transducer
on the bottom of the hull. If the hull is not level within 15 degrees in any direction, fairing blocks
made out of teak should be used between the transducer and hull, both inside and outside, to
keep the transducer face parallel with the water line. Fabricate the fairing block as shown be-
low and make the entire surface as smooth as possible to provide an undisturbed flow of water
around the transducer.
* Position 1/2 to 1/3 length of the hull from stern.
* 15-30 cm from keel line (inside first lifting strakes).
* Within the submerged bottom area
* Deadrise angle within 15°
