Installation of the Transducer
Mounting the Transom-Mount Transducer
Follow these instructions if you are installing the transom-mount transducer.

st
).
On a boat with a fiberglass hull, the leading edge of the transducer should extend 1/8""(3.2mm) to
1/4""(6mm) below the bottom edge of the hull. See picture 1-3. On an aluminum hull, the transducer
should extend a bit more - 1/4"(6mm) to 3/8"(9mm). If the boat will be operated at high speeds, the
transducer may be mounted closer to the centerline of the hull.

)
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 this wedge to get the correct angle for the bottom of the transducer.

Looking at the rear of the boat, be sure the bracket is vertical (perpendicular to the water line).

th
)
Hold the bracket (and the wedge, if used) against the transom and trace the position of the screw
slots.

th
)
Remove the bracket. The screws in the outer slots should be placed about 1/4"(6mm) up from
the bottom of each slot. The screw in the center slot should be placed 1/4" (6mm) down from the top.
(This will allow you to adjust the bracket up or down a bit.)
Drill pilot holes 3/4""(19mm) deep. Use a 9/64" (3.5mm) drill bit. To prevent drilling too deeply, wrap
masking tape around the drill bit about 7/8" (22mm) from the tip. Drill in only as far as the tape marker.
If you are attaching the bracket to a fiberglass hull, you can minimize any surface cracking of the gel
coat. Before drilling each pilot hole, drill a shallow hole (chamfer) at each location about 1/16" (1.5mm)
deep. Use a 1/4"(6mm) drill bit.

)
Attach the bracket to the hull using the pinhead screw with flat washers. Before you tighten the
screws, apply a good-quality marine sealant to the pilot hole. This will protect the hull from water
penetration. Do not tighten the screws completely yet.
