NSS evo2 Installation Manual

Attaching the Transducer

Due to the large range of transducer options, it is not practical to cover all scenarios here. 
Please refer to the documentation included with the transducer for directions on physical 
installation.

!

Warning:

  Most transducer installations require drilling holes below the vessel 

water line. Incorrect installation methods could result in water ingress in to the bilge 

or in to laminations of the hull material. The results could be damaging to the ves-

sel or dangerous to people aboard. Amateur installers are strongly recommended to 

consult with a professional installer or boat builder.
