Bow mounted Transducer Modules should be installed as far forward and as far below the water as possible
on the vessel. The black urethane array face should face forward with a clear view of the water ahead of the
vessel. Stern mounted Transducer Modules should be installed such that their field-of-view is not blocked
by the vessel's propulsion system. On the face of the unit there is a small protrusion to indicate the 12
o'clock position of the unit. The Transducer Module must be installed with this marking at the 12 o'clock
position for proper operation.
