TRANSOM TRANSDUCER ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING
The best way to install these transducers is to loosely assemble all of
the parts first, place the transducer's bracket against the transom and
see if you can move the transducer so that it's parallel with the ground.
The following instructions sometimes vary depending on the mounting
bracket that came with your transducer. Single frequency Skimmers
come with a one-piece stainless steel bracket, while dual frequency
Skimmers come with a two-piece plastic mounting bracket. Use the set
of instructions that fits your model.
1. Assembling the bracket.
A. One-piece bracket:
Press the two small plastic ratchets into the
sides of the metal bracket as shown in the following illustration. Notice
there are letters molded into each ratchet. Place each ratchet into the
bracket with the letter "A" aligned with the dot stamped into the metal
bracket. This position sets the transducer's coarse angle adjustment for a
14
°
transom. Most outboard and stern-drive transoms have a 14
°
angle.
Align plastic ratchets in bracket.
B.
Two-piece bracket:
Locate the four plastic ratchets in the trans-
ducer's hardware package. Press two ratchets into the sides of the
plastic bracket and two on either side of the transducer as shown in
the following illustrations. Notice there are letters molded into each
ratchet. Place the ratchets into the bracket with the letter "A" aligned
with the alignment mark molded into the bracket. Place the ratchets
onto the transducer with the letter "A" aligned with the 12 o'clock po-
sition on the transducer stem. These positions set the transducer's
coarse angle adjustment for a 14
°
transom. Most outboard and stern-
drive transoms have a 14
°
angle.
