7. Drill the third mounting hole, using a 5/32” drill bit. Use a marine-grade

silicone sealant to fill all three drilled mounting holes, especially if the holes
penetrated the transom wall.

NOTE:

On fiberglass hulls, it is best to use progressively larger drill bits to reduce

the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating.

8. Re-position the transducer assembly against

the transom of the boat, then hand-install all
three screws. Make sure that the transducer
location and the pivot angle have not
changed, then fully tighten all three mounting
screws (see the illustration

Fully Tighten All

Three Mounting Screws

). Snap the pivot

back down. If you have performed the
preceding

procedures

correctly,

the

transducer should be level and at the right
height for optimal operation.
