TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION
Transom installation
1. Select the mounting location
When you select a mounting location for the transducer, the flowing should be considered
in advance.
The sonar transmission / reception can be affected severely in turbulent water, so please
do not mount transducer behind strakes, rows of rivet, water intake, discharge port, the
immediate area of the propeller(s). These areas can create turbulence when the boat
moves in a high speed.
Do not mount the transducer in locations where it may be vibrate severely when the boat’s
engine launches or stop.
After the installation is finished, make sure the transducer is pointed down straightly to the
water surface.
2. Mark the location and drill the mounting holes
a) Make sure the boat is level and no obvious incline of the shipboard
b) Hold the template against the transom of boat
，
mark two mounting holes in the two
slots. The center of two holes should be parallel with water surface. Make sure the
distance between the bottom of template and the lower edge of the transom is about
0~5mm. (figure-1)
c) Using a 5/32” bit, drill 2 holes approximate 1” (25mm) deep at the marked location. Be
careful not drilling too deep then 1”.
