Use a trolling motor transducer if –
. . . you want to attach the transducer to a trolling motor. (Not recom-
mended for deep-water operations.)
Use a Sidelooker transducer if –
. . . you need a way of searching for fish on either side of the boat. This
type of transducer is attached to the bracket of the transom-mount
transducer or to the shaft of the trolling motor.
Assembling the Transducer Bracket
Fit together the two parts of the transducer bracket as shown in Fig. 2-2.
When the installation is complete, the parts snap together as shown.
Positioning the Transom-Mount Transducer
Begin by finding the best location for the mounting bracket. Here are the
rules:
•
If your boat has one propeller (outboard or inboard-outboard), mount
the transducer about 18
↑
(455 mm) to the side of the centerline of the
boat. See Fig. 2-3. Choose the side that is on the downstroke of the
propeller. (This is usually the starboard side of the boat.) This will
reduce interference caused by air bubbles.
•
If the propeller can be turned to steer the boat, allow at least 2" (50
mm) beyond the swing radius of the propeller. This will prevent the
