Tool List

 (not included)—drill, 3/8" wrench or socket, 5/32" and 

1/8" drill bits, masking tape, #2 Phillips screwdriver, and marine 

sealant.

To mount the transducer on a transom:

1.   Position the transducer mount at the selected transom 

location. Make sure the transducer is parallel with the 

water line. Mark the center locations of each hole on the 

transducer mount.

2.   Using a 5/32" bit, drill the pilot holes approximately 1"  

(25 mm) deep at the marked locations. To avoid drilling the 

holes too deep, wrap a piece of tape around the bit at 1" 

from the point of the bit. 

3.   Apply marine sealant to the 5 x 30 mm screws. Attach the 

transducer assembly to the transom using the 5 x 30 mm 

screws. Adjust the transducer assembly to extend beyond 

the bottom of the transom approximately 1/8" (3 mm) on 

fiberglass hulls or 3/8" (10 mm) on aluminum hulls. Adjust 

the transducer assembly to be aligned parallel with the 

water.

4.   Tighten the 10-32 locking nut until it touches the 

mounting bracket, and then tighten 1/4 turn more. (Do not 

overtighten.)

5.   Place the first cable clamp on the transducer cable 

approximately one third of the distance between the 

transducer and the top of the transom. 

  Mark the location. Using a 1/8" bit, drill a pilot hole 

approximately 3/8" (10 mm) deep.

6.   Attach the cable clamp using a 4 x 12 mm screw. Coat the 

screw with marine sealant before installation. Repeat steps 

5 and 6 using the other cable clamp. 

7.  Route the transducer cable, as needed, to the Fishfinder. 

DO NOT CUT THE CABLE. Avoid routing the cable with 

electrical wires or other sources of electrical interference. 

OK

Level

Drill pilot holes here.

Vertical

Bottom of the transom

Align with the transom 

bottom. The transducer 

should extend 1/8" 

below fiberglass hulls 

or 3/8" below aluminum 

hulls.

Keep it parallel with the water line.
