Figure 1-8 Transom mount transducer, mounting flush with hull
Installing the transom mount transducer projecting from hull (for
deep-V hulls)
This method is employed on deep-V hulls and provides good performance because the
effects of air bubbles are minimal. Install the transducer parallel with water surface; not
flush with hull. If the boat is placed on a trailer care must be taken not to damage the
transducer when the boat is hauled out of the water and put on the trailer.

Transducer preparation
Before putting the boat in water, wipe the face of the transducer thoroughly with a detergent
liquid soap. This will lessen the time necessary for the transducer to have good contact with
the water. Otherwise the time required for complete “saturation” will be lengthened and
performance will be reduced.
Note: Do not paint the transducer. Performance will be affected.
