4.  The bracket is designed for a standard 13° transom 

angle. To determine if the plastic shim is needed, 
position the transducer at the desired location. 

  

Using a straight edge, compare the underside of the 
transducer relative to the underside of the hull. The 
stern (trailing edge) of the transducer should be 
1/16" - 1/8" (1 - 3 mm) below the bow (leading edge) 
of the sensor.   

 

5. 

Apply a marine sealant to the threads of the two #10 
x 1-1/4" self-tapping screws and screw the bracket 
to the hull. DO NOT tighten the screws completely 
until you position the transducer as per # 4 above.

Do not allow the leading edge of the 
transducer to extend more than 1/8"(3 mm) 
of an inch below the bottom of the boat as 
this will create increased aeration and 

turbulence.

OTICE

Align the included shims to achieve a slight angle as per the illustration 
below. To prevent aeration, NEVER position the transducer in a 
manner that the Leading Edge 

(bow)

 is LOWER than the Trailing Edge 

(stern).
