Types and Mounting Methods
There are several different transducer types used for the various
mounting options available to you. Choose the style which best
meets the needs for your mounting application.
Transducer Types
• High-Speed Transom: This style is designed to be mounted
externally on the transom of your boat. It has a special wedged
shape to allow water flow when moving at high speed.
• Puck Style: Puck transducers are meant for attachment
to an electric trolling motor. They have a special curved
shape and attachment slots just for this purpose. Pucks are
also commonly used for in-hull mounting within fiberglass
boats.

Mounting Methods
• Transom Mounted: the method by which the transducer is
mounted externally on the back of the boat. The transducer is
attached at the bottom of the transom with a small portion of it
extending below the hull line (see page 16).
• In-Hull Mounting: the method by which the transducer is glued
to the inside of the hull of the boat. The sonar signal shoots through
the hull and into the water (see page 17).
• Trolling Motor Mounting: the method by which the transducer is
attached to the lower unit of the electric trolling motor (see page 18).
• Portable Mounting: the solution when easy transducer removal
from the boat is desired. Generally, a suction cup bracket is used to
attach either a high-speed or puck style transducer to the rear of the
boat (see page 19).
NOTE: If you find that you have purchased the wrong transducer for
your intended mounting application, you can exchange it with Vexilar.
You will only need to pay the retail cost difference, plus shipping, of the
transducer style needed. Transducers must be in new condition.
