2.4 Installing the Transom Mount Transducer

Preparation

Transducer Mounting Bracket
When installed, the lower surface of the transducer should tilt down toward the
rear at a slight angle (2° to 5°). The mounting bracket includes a wedge;
depending on the angle of the transom on your boat, you may need to install this
wedge to get the correct transducer angle.
1. To attach the transducer to the bracket, insert the transducer mounting lugs
into the slot in the bracket as shown in Figure 2-7 .
Figure 2-7: Fitting the Transducer to the Bracket
2. Looking at the rear of the boat, be sure the bracket is vertical (perpendicular
to the water line) and hold the bracket (plus the wedge, if used) against the
transom.
Trace the position of the screw slots, then mark the screw positions as shown
in Figure 2-8 . The outer two screws should be placed about 1/4" (6 mm) up
from the bottom of each slot, the center screw should be placed about 1/4" (6
mm) down from the top. This will allow the bracket to be adjusted up or down.
Remove the bracket.
