Does the Installation Vessel Have These Characteristics?
1.

°
.
3.
Transom angle from 3-20
°
.
Mounting Location
To obtain the best performance, the transducer should be mounted in a loca-
tion where the water flow is aeration and turbulence-free. Try to mount the
transducer as close to the centerline of the boat as possible.
•
On a single drive boat mount on the starboard side at least 4” (101 mm)
beyond the radius of the propeller (see Figure 1 above).
•
On a twin drive boat mount the transducer between the drives making cer-
tain that the transducers not directly in front of either drive or propeller.
• On an inboard boat mount the transducers far to the port or starboard as
possible so that the propeller turbulence does not effect the performance
of the sensor.
The MT01 Transom/In-Hull Transducer is suitable for installation and operation on most boats. For
optimal performance the transducer should be mounted to the transom of the boat as per the instal-
lation instructions. On fiberglass hulls (non-cored) and some aluminum hulls it can be glued to the
inside of the hull, but this type of installation will reduce the performance of the depth sounder slight-
ly.
Some boats may require a specialized transducer. If after completely reviewing the transducer installation
instructions you find that the supplied transducer is not appropriate for your vessel, please contact NMP at
888-667-2767, or visit us on the internet at www.norcrossmarine.com for exchange information. You may
exchange your new and unused transducer for another type, but keep in mind that some transducers may
have additional costs.
IMPORTANT!!!!
Install the transducer before installing the display to
ensure that the transducer cable is long enough to
reach your desired mounting location. If the transduc-
er cable needs to be extended, please follow the
instructions in the Troubleshooting Guide before start-
ing the installation.
Read ALL the instructions completely before pro-
ceeding with the installation.

CAUTION!!!!
Do not mount the transducer in an area of turbulence or bubbles:
•
Near water intake or discharge openings.
•
Behind strakes, struts, fittings or hull irregularities.
•
Behind eroding paint, hull deformities, or marine growth
Avoid mounting the transducer where the boat may be supported
during trailering, launching, hauling, or storage.
NOTICE!!!!
If the answer to any of these questions is no, skip to the In-Hull
Mounting Instructions within this manual or call 888-667-2767
to inquire about exchanging the transducer.
