Transducer installation
A2-1. Recommended transducer installation
The transducer should be installed in a location free of bubbles and away from disturbed water flow.
Smooth water flow around the transducer and along its surface is very important for consistent
operation. Areas in the center of water line length at cruising speed are usually satisfactory. Forward of
the engine and in a flat area near the centerline of the boat are preferred. Do not install the transducer
behind water intakes, other through-hull fittings or irregularities in the hull.
NOTE:
High water line: Water line when vessel pitches up most.
Low water line: Water line when vessel pitches down most.
