Mounting Location
“DONT’s”
N
OTICE
:
To deliver consistent, accurate
readings, the transducer must have
a continuous supply of non-
turbulent water. Do 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. Hull flexing may cause air pockets to form in
the 2 Part Epoxy used to bond the transducer to the
hull which over time will reduce the performance of the
depth sounder.
W
ARNING
:
Never install the transducer without
testing the installation as per Step 2
below.
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.
