The transducer is normally mounted flush with the hull plating. A clamping frame is used
to secure the transducer body to a mounting frame. The mounting frame is welded to the
bottom plate. The transducer cable penetrates the hull using a cable gland. The cable gland
consists of a bushing, rubber gasket, washers and a packing nipple.
The transducer can also be flush mounted at the bottom of a blister or a drop keel.
