- Page 3 OTICE Glue-in mounting of the transducer is NOT suitable for all vessels. You MUST test the glue-in location on the water prior to using epoxy to permanently affix it to the hull. If you cannot obtain satisfactory readings during on water testing you will need to transom mount the transducer, or switch to a customer transducer.
- Page 4 Transom mounting is suitable for the following vessels: Outboard, inboard/outboard, single inboard, or jet-drive propulsion. • Hull deadrise angle below 30°. • Transom angle from 3-20°. • OTICE To get a good “view” of the mounting location, while the vessel is out of the water, position yourself at the transom and look at the bottom of the hull towards the bow.
- Page 5 STEP 1 Choosing a Mounting Location To obtain the best performance, the transducer should be mounted in a location where the water flow beneath the hull is aeration and turbulence-free. Try to mount the transducer as close to the centerline of the boat as possible. Consult the boat manufacturer best in-hull...
- Page 6 Mounting Location “DONT’s” OTICE To deliver consistent, accurate readings, the transducer must have continuous supply non- turbulent water. Do not mount the transducer in an area of turbulence or bubbles. Never install the transducer where the boat may be supported during trailering, launching, hauling, or storage.
- Page 7 STEP 2 Assembling the Transom Mount Bracket 1. With the Locking Tab in the up position, align the transducer and bracket, then slide the transducer into the Pivot Bracket until it cannot slide any further (minimal force is required) (illustration A). 2.
- Page 8 4. The bracket is designed for a standard 13° transom angle. To determine if the plastic shim is needed, position the transducer at the desired location. Using a straight edge, compare the underside of the transducer relative to the underside of the hull. The stern (trailing edge) of the transducer should be 1/16"...
- Page 9 STEP 4 Cable Routing Route the transducer cable over the transom, through a deck or splash-well drain hole or through a new hole drilled in the transom. If a new hole is required, it MUST be drilled well above the waterline. To Drill a Cable Pass Through: 1.
- Page 10 STEP 5 Antifouling Paint Marine growth can accumulate rapidly on the transducer's surface. If the vessel is left in saltwater for extended periods of time, all components of the transducer below the waterline must be painted with WATER BASED antifouling paint. Never use ketone-based paint, as this type of paint can damage the •...
- Page 11 of the boat over the base of the transducer. The water should be "Clean" with very little turbulence (air bubbles). If there are any air bubbles or turbulence seen passing underneath the transducer, move the transducer farther down on the transom bracket. If the performance does not improve, move the transducer to "Clean Water"...
