“DONT’s”
N
OTICE
:
To deliver consistent, accurate
readings, the transducer must have a
continuous supply of non-turbulent
water.
D
O NOT MOUNT THE TRANSDUCER IN AN
AREA OF TURBULENCE OR BUBBLES
.
Never install the transducer where the boat may be
supported during trailering, launching, hauling, or storage.

:
To Get a Good “View” of the Mounting
Location: While the vessel is out of the
water, position yourself at the transom and
look at the bottom of the hull towards the bow. Using
illustrations A thru I, note anything that could interrupt
the clean flow of water to the transducer mounting
location.
NEVER MOUNT:
A.
Behind water intakes, discharge openings, or
thru-hull fittings.
B.
Behind strakes, struts, or hull irregularities.
C.
Behind transom steps or pockets.
D.
Behind eroding paint, hull deformities, or marine
growth.
E.
Behind rivets or strakes on aluminum boats.
F.
Behind the step on stepped hulls.
G.
Directly on the “V” in the hull.
H.
Behind propellers or anywhere propeller
turbulence will interrupt the flow of “clean” water
to the transducer.
I.
In areas where the hull has a reverse angle.
