Insert screws 1 and 3
1/4" from the bottom of 
slots, and screw 2 
1/4" from the top of the
slot to allow room for
adjustment.

Correct Mounting
Position

Vertical transom –
place wedge this way

Average transom angle–
no wedge necessary

Sloping transom–
place wedge this way

For fiberglass hull – 1/8" to 1/4" (3.2 to 6 mm)
For aluminum hull – 1/4" to 3/8" (6 to 9 mm)

Rivets on the hull are
creating bubbles.
Lower the transducer 
a bit.

The bow of the transducer
is above the bottom of the
transom, creating
cavitation.

The rear of the transducer
is too high, creating
cavitation.
