Planning - Transducers
Planning the location of the transducers is the MOST important consideration. Incorrect positioning or
installation will result in inefficient cleaning.
Please see images below for advised installation positions.
You MUST ensure you are installing onto the outer skin of your boat. Modern boats have many false floors
(especially motor vessels). Installation on anything other than the outer skin will severely limit the units
effectiveness.
If you do not think that the Silicon H05RN Transducer cables are long enough to reach your transducers
please contact us to arrange an extension cable.
DO NOT COMPROMISE THE LOCATION OF YOUR TRANSDUCERS BASED ON THE LENGTH OF CABLE.
DO NOT TIGHTLY COIL ANY UNUSED CABLE. – As this could cause interference with other on-board
electronics. If you need to coil the cable we would recommend large, loose coils.
The below is only a
rough indication of position
. If you would like advice on the optimum position please
call our technical team, as we have experience with many types of boats.
For boats with waterline length <10M
The transducers should be located towards the stern between the propeller and the rudder. One should be
placed to port and the other to starboard approximately 30cm from the centre line.
For boats with waterline length >10M < 20M
The transducers should be located towards the stern between the propeller and the rudder. One should be
placed to port and the other to starboard approximately 30cm from the centre line.
The additional transducer should be located towards the bow. It can be located either port or starboard of
the centre line.
