Fitting – Transducers
Remove the transducer from its packaging and place the transducer (with the nut attached) in the area you
plan to install it.
Prepare the surface of the hull using the 80 Grit sandpaper supplied. For best results an orbital sander /
Mutli-tool can be used. Remove gel coat / paint and ensure a smooth flat surface is made in preparation for
the transducer.
ENSURE YOU ARE INSTALLING THE TRANSDUCER IN A SOLID AND FLAT AREA OF YOUR HULL. IT IS VITALLY
IMPORTANT THAT 100% SURFACE CONTACT OF THE TRANSDUCER FACE IS IN CONTACT WITH THE HULL
It is advised to clean the prepared area of the hull and the transducer ring with an alcohol based solvent i.e
Acetone (Not supplied).
PLEASE ENSURE YOU TAKE NOTE OF THE MANUFACTURERS SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS WHEN USING THESE PRODUCTS.
Place the transducer assembly on this newly prepared area and draw around the ring to give you a guide
for the epoxy later in the assembly.
This area was prepared for the bow
transducer using a sander. The more paint
you remove the better the adhesion will be.
This area had a false floor in the starboard aft
cabin and so required cutting to access the GRP
hull. We used a Fein Multimaster tool with the saw
attachment that was ideal.
After preparing the hull area, place the
transducer and nut in the proposed position
and draw around the outside of the nut to
give you a guide.
