Transom mount transducer
The transom mount transducer (525-5PWD) is very commonly employed, usually on
relatively small inboard/outboard or outboard boats. Do not use this method on an inboard
motor boat because turbulence is created by the propeller ahead of the transducer.
There are two methods of installation: flush with hull (for flat hulls) and projecting from hull
(for deep V-hulls).
Installing the transom mount transducer on a flat hull
A suitable mounting location is at least 50 cm away from the engine and where the water
flow is smooth.
1. Drill four pilot holes in the mounting location.
2. Attach the transducer to the bracket with 5x20 tapping screws (supplied).
3. Adjust the transducer position so the transducer faces right to the bottom.
Note: If necessary, to improve water flow and minimize air bubbles staying on the
transducer face, incline the transducer about 5° downward at the rear – loosen
the screws fixing the transducer, tilt the transducer and tighten screws. This may
require a certain amount of experimentation for fine tuning at high cruising
speeds.
4. Fill the gap between the wedge front of the transducer and transom with epoxy material
to eliminate any air spaces.
