Installation
Positioning the Transom-Mount Transducer
Begin by finding the best location for the mounting bracket.
Here are the rules:
If your boat has a single propeller (outboard or I/O), mount the transducer no more than 18"(455mm)
off the centerline of the boat. See Picture 1-2 Choose the side that is on the down stroke of the
propeller. (This is usually the starboard side of the boat.) This will reduce any interference caused by
prop wash.
If your boat has twin propellers (outboard or I/O), place the transducer near the centerline of the boat.
If the propeller can be turned to steer the boat, allow at least 2"(50mm) beyond the swing radius of the
propeller. This will prevent the propeller from damaging the transducer when it is turned.
Do not mount the transducer behind any hull fittings, intakes, or other parts which extend from the hull.
These may cause turbulence or air bubbles.
If the boat will be carried
on a trailer, be sure the
transducer will not hit any
rollers, bunks or fittings
on the trailer.
