STEP 3 – Mark and drill the holes
Place the transducer at the chosen position and mark both hole locations
with the pencil. Drill the holes, making sure not to drill deeper than the
length of the screws provided.
STEP 4 – Very important! Apply the silicone
Fill the holes drilled in step 3 with silicone caulk. Then, apply a generous
amount silicone caulk to the surfaces of the transducer that will contact the
boat (see Figure 1).
STEP 5 – Mount the transducer
Using the two screws provided, mount the transducer into place. Tighten
until the transducer is snug against the hull. Do not over-tighten.
STEP 6 – Clean-up (also very important)
In order to ensure the best performance from your transducer, make sure
that no silicone remains that would disturb the smooth flow of water across
its surfaces. Wipe off all excess silicone with a cloth or paper towel and
make sure that the transition area between the hull and the transducer is
very smooth and that any gaps are completely filled.
