Route the Cable
1. Once the mounting location is determined and you have marked the position of the
transducer, route the cable from the transducer to the control head.

Permanently Mount the Transducer
1. Make sure the position of the transducer is marked.
2. You may have to disconnect the cable to the control head and reconnect it at the end of
this procedure.
3. Remove the water from inside the hull and thoroughly dry the mounting surface. If the
surface is excessively rough, it may be necessary to sand the area to provide a smooth
mounting surface.
4. Mix an ample quantity of two-part slow cure epoxy slowly and thoroughly. Avoid trapping
air bubbles.
5. Coat the face of the transducer and the inside of the hull with epoxy (see In-Hull
Transducer Installation and Applying Epoxy to the Transducer).
6. Press the transducer into place with a slight twisting motion to purge any trapped air
from underneath, keeping the pointed end of the transducer body pointed forward,
towards the bow (see Installing the Transducer).
NOTE: Proper operation requires the pointed end of the transducer body to face towards
the bow.
7. Weight the transducer so that it will not move while the epoxy is curing.
NOTE: When the epoxy cures, no water is necessary inside the hull.
NOTE: Neither water, spilled gasoline, nor oil will affect the performance of the
transducer.
