Once you have prepared the hull you are now ready to apply the adhesive plastic disc. Screw the
transducer into the ring until it sits slightly proud of the nut. Peel off the white backing paper and fix the
plastic disc to the centre of the transducer face. Smooth the edges of the disc so that they are touching the
solid black ring of the transducer nut as show below.
The purpose of the plastic disc is to ensure you have a solid contact to the hull of the boat. Later in this
guide you will be applying epoxy resin to the boats hull and this plastic disc will protect the transducer face
from the epoxy resin.
Using the epoxy resin supplied you will now need to apply epoxy to the transducer ring
ONLY
, ensuring you
DO NOT
apply any epoxy to the plastic covering, applying epoxy to the plastic covering will create bubbling
/ rippling which will decrease effectiveness. Be aware of the rapid setting time of the epoxy resin and only
mix enough for immediate use.
Once you have applied the epoxy to the ring you can now apply the epoxy to the hull area (as shown on the
next page). Using the guide you drew earlier apply a generous amount of the epoxy ensuring you cover the
entire area of the hull where the transducer and nut will be located. Try to ensure the epoxy resin is as level
as possible.
Apply epoxy to the ring area only
(highlighted Green), avoiding contact with
the plastic covering (highlighted red below)
